And so they say they're leaving While you sleep away the day You go out every evening Collecting waifs and strays They follow their illusions They don't know what to do They need a clear direction That's why they turn to you You're pleading, please don't leave me Don't go from me so soon I need to be found For I'm astray too Don't go Just wait until tomorrow Just wait until tomorrow On the streets of Paris On the streets of Rome They find a home In shadow or in coffee bars Down the winding alleys Through the brightly lit arcades No matter where they are In and out of life, they wander Little waifs and strays They stay until you fall in love That's when they slip away In the dark you'll see Those sad brown eyes come shining through Your heart will melt You felt the way they looked at you Don't go Just wait until tomorrow Just wait until tomorrow You find you need someone To love your days away Just when your heart is crying out Please stay, don't go away Just wait until tomorrow Just wait until tomorrow Yes, it's true I'm a stray too Yes, it's true I'm a stray too Yes, it's true I'm a stray too Yes, it's true I'm a stray too
