lyrics

Tomorrow won’t be like any other day
Today I gave my heart away
Tomorrow the sun will shine again for me
and once more will my life be filled with gaiety

And the song that I sing to her
will be a melody
Let will bring joy to her
that parries in the spring

I’m gettin’ ready
I’m gettin’ ready for tomorrow

I’ll only say the thing she wanna hear
Yes, I’ll be content with just having her near

So began yesterday’s sorrow and I’ll beg you proclaim
and may gloom for tomorrow’s give the happiness it brings

I’m gettin’ ready
I’m gettin’ ready for tomorrow
for tomorrow
for tomorrow
for tomorrow
for tomorrow

Yeahh for tomorrow
for tomorrow
I’m gettin’ ready for tomorrow….

about

Cleveland Francis image

Cleveland Francis Alexandria, Virginia

“These recordings are a look into my soul through a long and lonely journey to
understand feelings of my childhood, poverty, racial segregation, bigotry, war,
love and hope. It represents my attempt to express and come to terms with all that
I have seen and felt as a Black man growing up in America."
