[Verse 1]
You sit with the man who threw it all away
And you dream of the birds that have flown away
And you hope that you won't see it fall again
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
You say this is the life of the influence of dreams
Tall buildings and a wife won't be enough for me
There is more in the world to be found than dreams
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Forget the things that get away, forget the things that get away
Don't dream of yesterday, don't dream of yesterday
