Tomorrow
Tomorrow is a love song inspired by the power of love ballads from modern Hollywood-produced films. The composition is about a person who is magically in love with another person. That person hopes to conquer the other person’s heart. Throughout the composition, there is a beautiful precious moment when the main character asks the other person if they will allow their love to flourish. In the end, captivated by the sweet and enchanted words of the main character, the other person falls in love, and they both sit on a swing creating an illusion of hanging over the light of a present moon.

“Tomorrow” by Frank Duarte
(2022)
Look at me and breathe with me.
Tell me that you love me, too.
Stay with me, don’t go away.
All I can think of is being with you.
When tomorrow comes, I’ll be waiting for you.
I’ll be here just praying that you will be mine.
When tomorrow comes, may our shadows be one.
If they do, we know it’s a sign.
So, if you let me, tomorrow, I’ll bring you the sky.
Together we’ll see mountains as we both go soaring by.
So, if tomorrow, for one day, our dreams do come true.
We’ll always be together, hanging over the crescent moon.
When I watch the diamond night,
I see your bright, glowing eyes.
When I touch your precious hands,
I feel your love flow a thousand times.
When tomorrow comes, I’ll be waiting for you.
I’ll be here just praying that you will be mine.
When tomorrow comes, may our shadows be one.
If they do, we know it’s a sign.
So, if you let me, tomorrow, I’ll bring you the sky.
Together we’ll see mountains as we both go soaring by.
So, if tomorrow, for one day, our dreams do come true.
We’ll always be together hanging over the crescent moon.
