Somehow, I never could believe
That life was meant to be all dull and gray
Somehow, I always will believe
There'll be a brighter day
Folks should try to find a way to get along together
A way to make the world a singing happy place
Full of laughter and kind words
And friendliness on everybody's face
But somehow in the world that I grew up in
The streets were dark with misery and distress
The endless daily grind was too much for them
It took away all hope of happiness
When I was a girl I remember
I used to dream about a party dress to wear
But I never had a party dress
And I guess, my dreams got lost somewhere
No-one seemed to care
But when I grew up I said I'll make it
For I believed there'd be a lucky star above me
In the fairy tales I read
The maiden always said
I know I'll find a fairy prince to love me
So I went wandering down the pavements of New York
And through the subways roaring tunnels underground
Hoping I would discover, some wonderful lover
Frank was the one that I found
Oh, on the day that we were married
I took a flower from my bouquet
And I pressed it in a book
And put the book away
Sometimes now, I go and take a look
The flower's dry, the perfume's gone, the petals all turned gray
Oh, dream of love
Should love turn out that way
Should love turn out that way
But, then the babies came
Their little arms made a ring around a rosy about me
Yet, as they grew older
They too seemed to grow away
Until even Willy, my little boy Willy
Seems he can get along without me
I don't know
It looks like something awful happens
In the kitchens where women wash their dishes
Days turns to months, months turn to years
The greasy soap suds drown our wishes
There's got to be a little happiness somewhere
Some hand to touch that's warm and kind
And there must be two smiling eyes somewhere
That will smile back into mine
I never could believe
That life was meant to be all dull and gray
I always will believe
There'll be a brighter day
That life was meant to be all dull and gray
Somehow, I always will believe
There'll be a brighter day
Folks should try to find a way to get along together
A way to make the world a singing happy place
Full of laughter and kind words
And friendliness on everybody's face
But somehow in the world that I grew up in
The streets were dark with misery and distress
The endless daily grind was too much for them
It took away all hope of happiness
When I was a girl I remember
I used to dream about a party dress to wear
But I never had a party dress
And I guess, my dreams got lost somewhere
No-one seemed to care
But when I grew up I said I'll make it
For I believed there'd be a lucky star above me
In the fairy tales I read
The maiden always said
I know I'll find a fairy prince to love me
So I went wandering down the pavements of New York
And through the subways roaring tunnels underground
Hoping I would discover, some wonderful lover
Frank was the one that I found
Oh, on the day that we were married

And I pressed it in a book
And put the book away
Sometimes now, I go and take a look

Should love turn out that way

Some hand to touch that's warm and kind
And there must be two smiling eyes somewhere
That will smile back into mine
I never could believe
That life was meant to be all dull and gray
I always will believe
There'll be a brighter day
