These days it’s hard to get up Some doors are better left shut Maybe I’m thinking too much These days I don’t go out with my friends I don’t need someone asking A courtesy “how have you been” These days I want to get it right but I keep on getting it wrong I hope that you were right last night on the telephone This too shall pass This too shall pass I don’t know when but I do know that This too shall pass Slow dancing with my regret Guess I’m not over it yet Out of the rain but still wet These days I’m watching too much TV It’s keeping me company I’m not where I thought I’d be These days I want to get it right but I keep on getting it wrong I hope that you were right last night on the telephone This too shall pass This too shall pass I don’t know when but I do know that This too shall pass Maybe I’ll buy some new clothes Go somewhere I used to go Well it’s a start I suppose This too shall pass This too shall pass I don’t know when but I do know that This too shall pass
