lyrics

Every so often someone comes along
And restores your faith in mankind
Every so often someone seems so right
And then they rob you blind

Now and then a dream comes true
Makes you want to wish for more
A door opens, a finger beckons
Then you see just what you fell for

The cool wind of hope blows eternal
As if to keep us on our toes
Maybe there'll be a brighter day tomorrow
So pack up all of your woes

Once in a while you catch a break
From all your worries and distress
But just when things start going well
They collapse in a mess

Comes a time you settle down
The clouds part and it's blue sky blue
But just when you stand yourself upright
The rug gets yanked from under you
