Our day will come
And we’ll have everything
We’ll share the joy
Falling in love can bring

No one can tell me
That I’m too young to know
I love you so
And you love me

Our day will come
If we just wait a while
No tears for us
Think love and wear a smile

Our dreams have magic
Because we’ll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come

Our day will come

Our day will come
