The Days Take Care of Everything

If you wanna feel sorry for yourself

Then go ahead, I'm not gonna stop you

Sometimes you're just like a petulant child

You seem to get so much satisfaction

Just from being denied

And now that he's taken

Everything you can give

You come to me asking

How can I continue to live

Chorus:

The days take care of everything

You've had your fling

You poor little thing

But don't despair

Yes the days take care of everything

You'll pass on the street

You'll know him from someplace

But you won't know where

The days take care of everything

We sat up all night and talked it through

You drank down the bottle

And I blew a lower note

I said " Now I must be going now it' s getting late"

But what if I was less of a friend

And more of a traitor

But how could you know

How I was longing inside

Our eyes never met

And my hands stayed by my side

And as you gave me a rather

Affectionate kiss

How could you know

I had been waiting

For a chance like this

I've been an upstate conventional turn

I overheard a heavenly choir

And though you still turn to me

From time to time

One day you're up in the clouds

Next thing you're down with the

Sweet Adelines

And now I can see

It was not meant to be

You'll take him back

And never spare another thought

From me

Chorus
