Lyrics
Tomorrow Afternoon
If only I could talk to you about twelve years from now
Maybe I'd convince you to change your mind somehow
Maybe I'd have one of those sweet and charming faces
With an awkward and self-conscious smile
Tryin' to cover up my braces
And you could watch me graduate high school at eighteen
And send your friends announcements, finest ones they'd ever seen
But that won't ever happen 'cause I'll be leavin' soon
I'll be just a memory
By tomorrow afternoon
I could be just shining by the age of thirty-three
And visit with your grandkids that you'd bounce upon your knee
And you could call me up sometimes, even if it was getting late
Cause you needed someone who would hear you, simply just relate
Maybe when you were old and broken and your memory wasn't good
And you had no one to care for you, maybe I still could
Maybe I still would
I could be that person who could truly change the world
Or maybe I'd be nothin' special, except your special little girl
I could maybe make you laugh when you were feelin' sad
I might even be the closest friend you ever had
Time's a force you can't reverse so if you're gonna change your mind
You better change it soon
Cause I'll be just a memory
By tomorrow afternoon
