[Intro]
Uh, mm

[Verse 1]
Somewhere on a Saturday morning, there’s a girl in a window (Girl in a window)
Watching people passing by as she clutches on her aching heart (On her a-aching heart, heart)
She’s a sweet coffee sipper since life has been so bitter
She’s learning how to live without the man who gave up on her now
Love let her down
I need the band, I need the band, hm
Somewhere in the traffic on Bond Street, a middle-aged man was driving his van
He’s been awful low of late, but he’ll never show his mates
He’s a man’s man
Working like a dog, a pile of bills to pay
The last lonely pint at the bar will be the highlight of his day
And every day the same (Still, still, still, still)

[Chorus]
Still, he must believe, happier times ahead
Life is not fair, life can be hard
But we only get one (We only get one)
Whatever may come (Whatever may come)
Find a little faith to hold on, my friend
There will be happier times again
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah-yeah

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the middle of England
Auntie Jean is up crying again
After sixty years of marriage
Her Roger has left her alone in the land of the living
Ooh, she’s cried a hundred seas
No one understands
The only one who’d get it, isn’t here anymore to hold her hand
Oh-oh, hand (Oh, hand, oh, hand, oh, hand)

[Chorus]

Still, she must believe, happier times ahead
Life is not fair, life can be hard
But we only get one (We only get one)
Whatever may come (Whatever may come)
Find a little faith to hold on, my friend
There will be happier times again (Happier, happier, yeah, yeah)
Oh-oh, yeah, huh

[Bridge]
It can’t rain forever, oh, ‘ever
I don’t know how, I
I don’t know when
I don’t know how or when
I don’t, I don’t
There must be happier
There must be happier
There must be happier times again

[Chorus]
Repeat after me, happier times ahead
May you be loved and may you feel joy
May you know peace that surpasses all understanding, I wish you this
And as I said, happier times (There will be happier times again)

[Outro]
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, oh
Oh-oh
Happier, happier
Happier, happier, happier, oh-ah
There must be happier
Happier, happier
Happier, happier, happier, oh-ah
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, nah
There must be happier
Happier, happier
Happier, happier, happier, oh-ah
Da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Happier times are coming, don’t you give up, just hold on
Happier times are coming, alright?
The sun exists behind the clouds, it’s right there
Just hold on to happier times, alright, darling?
