Julie Rocco, Founder of What I Would Have Missed shares I Will See You Tomorrow. Julie wrote the lyrics and with help from her friends, music was put to the words. Julie is in a band called The Tall Order. The Tall Order and guest musicians played I Will See You Tomorrow. This is the recording of that performance. Here are the lyrics to the song:
I open my eyes
Cause I’m alive
They say, God had other plans
That I can’t understand
So, I sign on the line
That swears its my last time
A heavy burden to hold
Give life another try I’m told
But I don’t know
Why they just won’t let me go
When there’s nothing I’m gonna miss
But they tell me
We will see you tomorrow
Won’t you please hold on ‘til then
I’ll try
We will see you tomorrow
We will come back again
But I don’t know why
I hold the hand of the greatest man
I’ve ever known
To let him know he’s not alone
I whisper, “I love you”
As my heart is breaking
One final breath
I say, “I’m already missing you”
And I cry as I realize
This is what I would have missed
I wish that I could see him tomorrow
I wish that I could see him again
It’s not goodbye
I wish that I could see him tomorrow
I know someday I will see him again
We will meet again on high
Oh girl, you are so beautiful
And everything that’s magical
Daddy’s little girl and your mommy’s whole world
And I can see the road in front of you
Dreams to chase and fears to face
Girl I’m gonna teach you
To take up space
This is what I will not miss
I will see you tomorrow
I will hold on ‘til then
My, my
I will see you tomorrow
I will see you again
How time flies
BRIDGE
And when everything turns dark
Until the next sunrise waves hello
I will hold on tight until I see the light
And I won’t let go
I will see you tomorrow
I will hold on ‘til then
I will see you tomorrow
I will see you again
Now I look around
At all the love I have found
And I close my eyes
As I begin to pray
For the strength to keep
The promise I made
I will see you tomorrow
To stay
Ooooo—I will see you tomorrow
Ooooo—I will see you again
Ooooo-- I will see you tomorrow
I will see you again
