Lyrics
Gorgeous blue sky New York mornin', left so fast my zipper's torn in two, Had big plans today to make the grade, to get bills paid then get back home to you.......but we never knew. I missed the train was all it took to change my life, to make me look, To force a vision even worse than this destruction man brings down on man......oh man.... If I?m still alive tomorrow, I'm gonna give back all I?ve borrowed, Make good on every promise and visit all the friends that I miss. If you wake to find me still here, just rise up and out of your fear, Touch me all night, love me real slow, If I?m still alive tomorrow..................................... Gorgeous blue sky New York morning?s gone and now this world seems torn in two..........................how are you? I'm trapped inside while walls collide, turn on my phone so, I can talk to you...there's nothin' left to do Mrs. Murphy worked next-door; I hope she made it down six floors. My buddy John and Mr. Green ...Shit I think I heard em' scream .......can you hear them too? CHORUS PIANO SOLO If I'm breathin' in the mornin', I think I'll head that general?s warning. Cherish every breath that I take, and laugh at every joke that you make. If by sunset I am still here, I wanna raise a glass of good cheer, Make a toast and kiss the earth dear, If tomorrow I am still here.............. softly If I'm still alive tomorrow I'm gonna give back all I've borrowed, Make good on every promise, and visit all the friends that I miss. If I?m still alive tomorrow, I'm gonna play this music real slow Touch you gently take my time girl If I'm still alive tomorrow............................................................ Flugelhorn solo
