Every day would be the first day of spring,

Every heart would have a new song to sing,
     Bm7Bm7     F#m7F#m7          E minor 7Em7   A7A7
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

Every man would be as free as a bird,

Every voice would be a voice to be heard

Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred.

Bridge:

Where we would weave such wonderful dreams;

Like the man in the moon when the moon beams.

There'd be happiness that no man could end;

If the day ever dawned when I,  ruled the world.
