I couldn't even count the times I've had to look away So you wouldn't see my teardrops fall Like a river down my face I'd trade you places if I could I'd only be too glad So you could be like all the rest But it just don't work like that. But there will come a day my friend All the pain and heartaches end And the greatest gift we'll ever see Is when like a bird you'll fly so free I pray it won't be very long There'll be no need to sing this song And we'll laugh at how we used to say There will come a day. You never stop impressing me With quiet strength and faith Living life with your head held high And a heart so full of grace I search for rhyme and reason yes I try to understand And try not to worry about those things That are out of our hands. But there will come a day my friend All the pain and heartaches end And the greatest gift we'll ever see Is when like a bird you'll fly so free I pray it won't be very long There'll be no need to sing this song And we'll laugh at how we used to say There will come a day...
