Analysis of One More Tomorrow



In joy or sorrow, can we still borrow
One more tomorrow together?
Often or ever, seldom or never
How shall we "measure" together?
Each doing our thing, attached by some string
Is that why we cling together?
Both wanting our way, all night and all day
So why do we stay together?
We travel along, each singing our song
But do we belong together?
Question and answer, stay or to transfer
Love in what manner together?
Now and forever, or shall we sever
Bonds that we treasure together?
With joy and sorrow, can we still borrow
One more tomorrow together?
