I'm so glad last night is over

I thought it would never end

When I stormed out the front door

I'm sure glad you let me back in

And I sat up all night thinking

Now I feel like I understand

We gotta take a hold of this dream

Before it slips right through our hands

So wake up baby I know it's raining

Still we've got to rise and shine

Because happy ever after

Comes one day at a time

It takes faith not expectations

And a little hard work sometimes

For every mile we're coasting

There's a mile up ahead to climb

Now we've heard about storybook endings

Where everybody's dreams come true

There ain't no reason in the world girl

It can't happen to me and you

Wake up baby I know it's raining

Still we've got to rise and shine

Because happy ever after

Comes one day at a time

Wake up baby I know it's raining

Still we've got to rise and shine

Because happy ever after

Comes one day at a time

Wake up baby I know it's raining

Still we've got to rise and shine

Because happy ever after

Comes one day at a time

Because happy ever after

Comes one day at a time
