[Verse]
I'm so glad last night is over
I thought it would never end
When I stormed out the front door
I'm sure glad you let me back in
Well I sat up all night, thinking
Now I feel like I understand
We gotta take hold of these dreams
Before they slip right through our hands

[Chorus]
Wake up, baby, I know it's raining
Still we've got to rise and shine
Because happy ever after
Comes one day at a time

[Verse]
It takes faith, not expectations
And a little hard work sometimes
For every mile we're coasting
There's a mile up ahead to climb
We've all heard about storybook endings
Where everybody's dream come true
There ain't no reason in the world
It can't happen to me and you
[Chorus]
Wake up, baby, I know it's raining
Still we've got to rise and shine
Because happy ever after
Comes one day at a time
