When you're drunk and your money's spent,
I'll drive you home and I'll pay your rent,
Say you're beautiful
When you're not beautiful
And when you're sick you know I'll change your sheets,
I'll bring you drugs, sing you to sleep,
Pray for miracles
When you don't believe in miracles
And all we ever need to do
Is to see the world the way dreamers do
And I'd say "Never say die,"
And you'd say, "It's a wonderful life"
When you grow up, I hope you find your way,
'Cos everyone seems lost these days
I'll try to help
Though I'm adrift myself
But if I can't save you when the darkness comes,
Or prove love greater than the glum
I'll try to pretend
Right up to the end
That all we ever need to do
Is to see the world the way dreamers do
And I'd say "Never say die,"
And you'd say "It's a wonderful life"
But you know, that's a wonderful lie
I wrote this song long before the war,
With no idea who it was for
But now it's done
I'm sure there's someone
It was meant for
