I had hoped you'd find your way to this piece of music
And that would mean, oh, my friend, we have made it to the end
I hope inside this you've found something beautiful
She had hoped you'd make it to the 17th song
And if to dance or then to cry, or to just sing along
We hope inside this you've found something beautiful
My complete gratitude for taking time out of your day
To hear the melodies and words we have to play and to say
And I wanted to finish this album like this
With a musical hug and an orchestral kiss
Ah-ha, H-A-P-P-I-E-R T-I-M-E-S (happier times)
I wish you the best, only joy in this life that we tread
And now I'd like to leave you with an unapologetically
Dramatic and powerful, this last metaphorical summary
For it's life's guarantee that we're all going to die
Come rain or come storms, we've got one little life
The sun has promised to shine all four beautiful seasons
Even if we can't see it
Hope must always exist, is just above the clouds
To conclude there, and so it goes
And as it says on the tin, in the winds, "This May Contain Hope"
If you didn't find it, then might I advise it
I'm asking polite that if hope didn't find you, my friend
We advise you to listen again
Thank you for listening, until next time
Lots of love, RAYE
