I was winding my clock
Which was waking us up
In the morning we were laughing
Away like fools
I was saying my prayers
He was combing his hair
In a country that began with a
'J' for Jules
You know I'll miss you
And thus it begins
But I'll release you
And thus it continues
Someday we'll be happy again
Oh the rain never comes
Count my blessings on my thumbs
And the dogs just want to sleep in the
Sun all day
You know I'll miss you
And thus it begins
But I'll release you
And thus it continues
Someday we'll be happy again
There's no way a country like that could die
Told me that they drift away
But that's a lie
Well I just bought a car
But it stays in the yard
And the country that began with a 'j'
Now ends in my heart
You know I'll miss you
And thus it begins
But I'll release you
And thus it continues
Someday we'll be happy again
Someday we'll be happy again
Someday we'll be happy again
