Lyrics

I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday

[Intro]

My love wherever you are

Whatever you are

Don't lose faith

I know it's gonna

Happen someday to you

[Pre-Chorus]

Please, wait

Please, wait

Wait, don't lose faith

[Chorus]

You say that

The day never arrives

And it's never

Seemed so far away

But I know it's gonna

Happen someday to you

[Pre-Chorus]

Please, wait

Please, wait

Wait, don't lose faith

Please, wait

Please, wait

Please, don't lose faith

[Chorus]

Don't lose faith

You say that

The day never arrives

And it seems so far away

But I know it's gonna

Happen someday

Someday to you, to you

[Outro]

Please, wait

Please, wait

Please, wait
