Don't look so sad,
Things aren't so bad
For the sun will shine again
Dark clouds will scatter;
I gotta leave,
You mustn't grieve,
A Hundred Years From Now
What will it matter ?
(This old world)
This old world
Will still be spinning
In a Hundred Years From Now;
(Cloudy skies)
Cloudy skies
Will still be raining
In a Hundred Years From Now;
Life won't end -
Because we're parting
Bright starts will shine on -
Anyhow;
New days will dawn,
But they'll be gone
A Hundred Years From Now......
(Shadows fall)
You're upset -
Because I'm leaving
But this planet orbits on,
(Nightingales)
Nightingales
Will still be singing
When a century has gone;
Tears won’t stop
The spring arriving,
Fresh buds
Will burst on every bough,
So shed no tear,
We won’t be there
A Hundred Years From Now……
(Same old moon)
Same old moon –
Will still be shining
When a hundred years have passed
(This old world)
Though you think
The world is changing,
Human feelings – change as fast;
When you find another lover
Oh, you’ll forget me then –
I vow !
So dry your eyes,
The sun will rise
A Hundred Years From Now……
