Underneath your dream lit eyes
Shades of sleep have driven you away
The moon is pale outside
And you are far from here

Breathing shifts your careless head
Untroubled by the chaos of our lives
Another day, another night
Has taken you again my dear

And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need someone to depend upon

When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea

When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea

Last night while you were lying in my arms
And I was wondering where you were
You know you looked just like a baby
Fast asleep in this dangerous world

And every star was shining brightly
Just like a million years before
And we were feeling very small
Underneath the universe

And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need someone to depend upon

When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea

When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea

And you know that I'm gonna be the one
Who'll be there when you need someone to depend upon

When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea

When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea
When tomorrow comes
Wait till tomorrow comes, yea yea

I can't wait till tomorrow, baby
Wait till tomorrow comes
Oh baby you wait till tomorrow comes
I'll be with you when tomorrow comes
I'll be with you when tomorrow comes
I'll be with you when tomorrow comes

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
