Someday when our dream world finds us And these hard times are gone We'll laugh and count our blessings In a mansion all our own If we both pull together, tomorrow's sure to come Someday we'll look back and say it was fun We live on love and pennies And the daydream out of sight And I'm amazed the way you smile When things don't turn out right We climb each hill together, each step one-by-one And someday we'll look back and say it was fun Someday when our dream world finds us And these hard times are gone We'll laugh and count our blessings In a mansion all our own If we both pull together, tomorrow's sure to come And someday we'll look back and say it was fun And someday we'll look back and say it was fun
