Jim Croce Tomorrow's Gonna Be a Brighter Day with Lyrics in Description

Track 2 from his third album “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim” released in 1972 copyright ABC Records. After hearing a demo tape, the Polygram Group in the Netherlands agreed to finance the recording of the album at “The Hit Factory” in New York City. The finished product was shopped around and rejected by forty record companies before ABC listened and agreed to sign Croce. The album received slightly better than average reviews and achieved Gold status the following year. After his death in September, 1973 in a small plane crash in Louisiana that was attributed to pilot error, “Time in a Bottle” was released as a single and reached No. 1, becoming his second single to top the charts.

Well, I'm sorry for the things that I told you
Words only go so far
And if I had my way, I would reach into heaven
And I'd pull you down a star for a present
And I'd make you a chain outta diamonds
And pearls from a summer sea
But all I can give you is a kiss in the mornin'
And a sweet apology

Well, I know that it hasn't been easy
And I haven't always been around
To say the right words or to hold you in the mornin'
Or to help you when you're down
I know I never showed you much of a good time
But, baby, things are gonna change
I'm gonna make up for all of the hurt I brought
I'm gonna love away all your pain

And tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day
There gonna be some changes
Tomorrow, gonna be a brighter day
This time you can believe me
No more cryin' in your lonely room
And no more empty nights
'Cause tomorrow mornin' everything'll turn out right

Well, there's something that I've gotta tell you
Yes I've got somethin' on my mind
But words come hard when your lyin' in my arms
And when I'm lookin' deep into your eyes
But there's truth and consolation
And what I'm tryin' to say
Is that nobody ever had a rainbow, baby
Until he had the rain

And tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day
There gonna be some changes
Tomorrow, gonna be a brighter day
This time you can believe me
No more cryin' in your lonely room
And no more empty nights
'Cause tomorrow mornin' everything'll turn out right

It's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be a brighter day
It's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be a brighter day
It's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be a brighter day
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be a brighter day
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be a brighter day
Come on, tomorrow
Come on, tomorrow
Gonna be a brighter day

I remember crying when he died and loved hearing him on the radio today.
