You sit with the man who threw it all away
G G C G
And you dream of the birds that have flown away
G D G C D
And you hope that you won't see it fall again
G C G C
And you will sing day by day, old joy comes back to me
G C G C
You'll sing day by day, old joy comes back to me

And you will sing day by day, old joy comes back to me

You'll sing day by day, old joy comes back to me
