Official lyrics[edit]

the moon is gone
and the night is still so dark
I'm a little bit afraid of tomorrow

for this day was so long and hard for me
and I've lost some of the things so far I have trusted

now I will close my heart and sleep a while
bless my dream with gentle darkness
until I could have my strength
to wait for the light
maybe tomorrow....

I've come through
some betrayal, some old pains,
some addiction to the love
and some good-bye[1]

like you did,
like my mother, father did,
I will cry a little while
and wait for tomorrow

there's no way to be free from the loneliness
it took so long for me to notice
but now I am on my way to find my light
maybe this day....
maybe tomorrow....

I will sleep a while, until the dawn wakes me up again
I still believe....come what may....

there is no way to be free from love
deeper we sink in the darkness
brighter is[2] shines in our hearts
the lights of love

[3]

the moon is gone
and the night is still so dark
I'm a little bit afraid of tomorrow
but I will go....
I'll go over....
I will go....

Notes[edit]
