It's been very hard
But it's getting easier now
Hard times are over, over for awhile
The leaves are shining in the sun
And i'm smiling inside
You and i watching each other on a street corner
Cars and buses and planes and people go by
But we don't care
We want to know
We want to know in each other's eyes
That hard times are over, over for some time

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for awhile

It's been very rough
It's getting easier now
Hard times are over, over for awhile
The streams are twinkling in the sun
And i'm smiling inside
You and i walking together 'round the street corner

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for awhile

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for awhile

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for awhile
