It's time to open up the curtains
Yes it is, yes it is
And sing away these days of hurting
Yes it is, yes it is

You've seen enough heartache
To write three symphonies
And a short operetta

But all the love you used to
Feel back then
Lives inside you
Till the end

Today is yesterday's tomorrow
Yes it is, yes it is
And life is something you just borrow
Yes it is, yes it is

You'd trade in the future
For a good time machine
And a dance with Loretta

All those dreams you used to
Have back then
Make them happen
Don't say when

Don't say when
Don't say when
Don't say when
Don't say when

The kindest word is seldom spoken
Yes it is, yes it is
Your heart's not open till it's broken
Yes it is, yes it is

Yes it is...

Get up, don't get down
Get up, don't get down
Get up, don't get down
