It´s been very hard,
But it´s getting easier now,
Hard times are over, over for a while,

The leaves are shining in the sun,
And 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 sometime,

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for a while,

It´s been very rough,
But it´s getting easier now,
Hard times are over, over for a while,

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 a while.
