Maybe someday, when you're far away
Wondering why there's no one to hold you
Then you'll realise what I tried to say, mmm

When I wake up, it's gonna be a (brighter day)

Time after time you said you were mine
Then you go fool around behind me
But it don't matter now - I'm gonna live life one day at a time
I gotta be strong, I gotta go on
Leaving the cares of love behind me
When I wake up, it's gonna
