Things are alright to me these days
Still managing to see through the haze
A streetlamp's shine drips deep in my room
As I lie on my bed in the evenings gloom

But I wish my eyes could plainly see
The future right in front of me
And tomorrow comes much too soon
When it's nothing more than trying to sing in tune
And I wait for you.....
Yes I do

One day I know I'll chance to meet
Your smiling face on some distant street
I'd stop in my tracks, turn around
You'd speak to me without making a sound
And say, "Things have been good, yeah things have been fine
I'm still thinking 'bout you all the time"
And memories come rushing to my lips
And they're all I have but I'm still not used to it

And I wait, oh I wait
For you to rise
But I'm not the type to be
Taken by suprise
Oh no...

Things are alright to me these days
Still managing to see through the haze...
