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 I'M 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 WANNA KNOW,
WANNA KNOW IN EACH OTHER'S 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.

IT'S BEEN VERY ROUGH,
BUT IT'S GETTING EASIER NOW.
HARD TIMES ARE OVER, OVER FOR AWHILE.

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 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.
