Its been very hard
But its getting easier now.
Hard times are over, over for a while.

The leaves are shining in the sun,
And Im smiling inside.
You and I watching each other on a street corner,
Cars and buses and planes and people go by.
But we dont care, we wanna know,
Wanna know in each others eyes
That hard times are over, over for some time. (yeh!)

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

Its been very rough,
But its getting easier now.
Hard times are over, over for awhile.

The streams are twinkling in the sun
And Im 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.

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over.
