When will I get my chance
To make the lilacs bloom
To decorate the tomb
With petals from the groom
Who cried, "The circumstance
Could never be assumed"
It's hard to say
It's hard to say
When will I get my chance
To burn the shoulders of
The women and the men
Who danced when they're in love
Who fit into romance
Like hands fit into gloves
It's hard to say
It's hard to say
When will I get my chance
To watch autumn leaves fall
To make babies crawl
To window sills
And all to watch the colors change
And some children are so strange
Some children are so strange
When will I get my chance
To watch autumn leaves fall
To make babies crawl
To window sills
And all to watch the colors change
And some children are so strange
Some children are so strange
When will I get my chance
To put you in a trance
Of watching all the snow
That is falling
Even though
It never lets you down
Never makes a sound
It's hard to say
It's hard
