I've been following this contest from the beginning, but I finally finished my entry and got B to sing it tonight. I tried not to listen to many of the other songs until I had mine done...once a melody gets tied to a song in my head, that's it! I'll be going back through and listening to the other songs now. (I did sneak a listen to Lyle's song and the hook stuck in my head all day.)

That Was Tomorrow, This Is Today

VERSE
I came home from the jewelry store
Found you were gone and read your note
You couldn't fake it anymore
It's over now, that's what you wrote

PRE-CHORUS
I thought tomorrow we'd start a new life
I'd take a knee, you'd say yes and be my wife

CHORUS
But that was tomorrow
And this is today
From talk of forever
To dreams ripped away
I'm alone with this diamond ring
And these words that I planned to say
That was tomorrow
This is today

TAG
Everything's wrong
Tomorrow's gone
Must move on from today

VERSE
You'd been too quiet for a while
You started going out alone
I'd only ever see you smile
When you were talking on the phone

PRE-CHORUS
I thought tomorrow I'd hear your laughter
Maybe you'd cry, then we'd start our ever after

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT TAG
