Someday We’ll Be Happy Again

Someday we’ll be happy again
Someday we’ll be happy again
Can’t say how soon, don’t know just when
But someday we’ll be happy again

The school kids in the alley wake us as they make their way
Some flowers keep unfolding even when the sky is gray
The birds out on the railing surely have a lot to say
Anyway we’ll be happy someday

Someday we’ll be happy again
Someday we’ll be happy again
Can’t say how soon, don’t know just when
But someday we’ll be happy again

A photo that we treasure fades, the kids we raised are grown
Sometimes we seek out company, sometimes we stay alone
We’ll wear our parents’ faces, all in good time, as our own
It’s something true we’ve always known

But, someday, we’ll be happy again
It’s true we’ll be happy again
Can’t say how soon, don’t know just when
But some day, some day

& if we can’t be happy with what’s happening, let’s watch it blow away

The airwaves carry music & we recognize the song
It’s time to say I love you or admit that we were wrong
Sometimes we count our blessings & sometimes we go along
Can’t say how fast, can’t say how long

Each day brings some new cruelty or the death of dear old friends
We’re moving toward a new light that blinds before it mends
The work that breaks your heart and kills your spirit never ends
But someday we’ll be happy again

Someday we’ll be happy again
Someday we’ll be happy again
Can’t say how soon, I don’t know when
But someday we’ll be happy again
