Jason Robert Brown - The World Was Dancing Lyrics
"Tomorrow you'll be here my loveTomorrow we'll be oneTomorrow we can follow throughOn all that we've begunTomorrow we'll be free my loveWe'll never be afraid"Daddy bought a store out in PittsburghAnd he called his boss and quitAnd we tried to convince himThe risk was too muchBut he still was convincedOf his own Midas TouchSo he bought this piece of shitI packed up and went off to PrincetonWith a scholarship in handWell, I'd call up my folks every weekend or soAnd I'd tell them how college was helping me growWhich was just what they had plannedAnd then I met this girl named AmyWith a smile as bright as dayAnd while the Pirates beat the OriolesWe fell in love and danced the night away"Tomorrow we'll be free my loveWe'll never be afraid"And we were dancingThe world was dancingDancingDaddy lost his shirt out in PittsburghAs my sophomore year rolled roundWell he had hired some schmuckThat he knew from the warAnd one weekend he left himIn charge of the storeAnd he burned it to the groundAnd then I met this girl named LisaOn a couch at Alpha-MuBut then she transferred to MacalesterSo it's just as well that Amy never knew"Tomorrow we'll be free my loveWe'll never be afraid"And we were dancingThe world was dancingDancingDaddy got his job back that summerSo he hid his pride and painAnd they threw him a partyAnd baked him a cakeAnd they sent me a ticketTo come winter breakBut I guess I missed the planeAnd since I'd spent so long with AmyWe got ourselves engagedBut then I thoughtI can't,This can't be rightCause dreams get burned down overnightI wasn't quite prepared to choose,To take that risk and maybe loseAnd since I couldn't tell her whyI hit the roadAnd never said goodbye"Tomorrow you'll be here my loveTomorrow we'll be oneTomorrow we can follow throughOn all that we've begunTomorrow we'll be free me loveWe'll never be afraid"And I was dancingAnd they were dancingThe world was dancingDancing
