The night was as dark
as the eyes of a widow

Behind the cover of a funeral veil
As cold as the four walls
the floor and the steel bars

of a November night prison cell
So I turned away from a front door
slammed closed and locked tight

as the one to her soul
And wondered how the bright flame
of love in her heart

could be snuffed out as black as the cold

Said don't say good-bye, please

just tell me you'll see me tomorrow
Tomorrow's a far cry from forever
but I guess it'll do

I'm a long way from over
the love that you've shown me in mercy
If you walk out tonight

then tomorrow
I'm yesterday's fool


We danced for hours
and I bought you flowers
from a man that had no place to live

With a rose in your hair
missin' worries and cares
we retired to a warm hotel bed


I keep a dry petal
and a Gideon's Bible

To remind me of love in true form
cause on nights like tonight
when the cold starts to bite

these memories all keep me warm

Don't say good-bye, please

just tell me you'll see me tomorrow
Tomorrow's a far cry from forever
but I guess it'll do

I'm a long way from sober
a long way from over your sweet smile
If you walk out tonight

then tomorrow
I'm yesterday's fool


My thoughts may be hazy
or maybe I'm crazy
for holding true love

you let go
It's like tryin' to hold fire
that once was desire

in the cold rain
and hard drivin' snow


But it seems it's the same
since the dawning of days
It's the eternal price

that we pay
You can blame it on Adam
or blame it on Me

I guess Man's just a fool either way

Don't say good-bye, please

just tell me you'll see me tomorrow
Tomorrow's a far cry from forever
but I guess it'll do

I'm a long way from over
the love that you showed me in mercy
If you walk out tonight

then tomorrow
I'm yesterday's fool


If you walk out tonight then tomorrow
I'm yesterday's fool
