"Happier Times Ahead." lyrics

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 aching 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, hmm

Somewhere in the traffic on Bond Street
A middle-aged man is 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's the same

Still, he must believe
Happier times ahead
Life is not fair
Life can be hard
But we only get one
Whatever may come
Find a little faith to hold on, my friend
There will be happier times again

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

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

It can't rain forever
Oh, ever
I don't know how
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

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
There will be happier times again (Happier times ahead)
Happier, happier, happier
There must be happier

There must be happier

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 onto happier times, alright, darling
