When The Good Times Come Again
Barry Manilow · Other Songs - Barry Manilow
A pot of gold or dreams foretold may not be there my friend
In this high and mighty world we live in
Sometimes we have to break, sometimes we have to bend
Until the good times come again
I'll see you then, when the good times come again
When you and I have made it back
From the people and the places we have been
I'll see you then, when the good times come again
The door that we go out of is the door that we come in
When the good times come again
When the good times come again
Hope we both survive the world out there
You'll never know what wind will blow so don't forget I care
And don't forget the way we felt together
Sometimes we have to hold to all the good that's been
Until the good times come again
I'll see you then, when the good times come again
When you and I have made it back
From the people and the places we have been
I'll see you then, when the good times come again
The door that we go out of is the door that we come in
When the good times come again
When the good times come again
I'll see you then, when the good times come again
When you and I have made it back
From the people and the places we have been
I'll see you then, when the good times come again
The door that we go out of is the door that we come in
When the good times come again
I'll see you then, when the good times come again
When you and I have made it back
From the people and the places we have been
I'll see you then, when the good times come again
The door that we go out of is the door that we come in
When the good times come again

The song captures a universal sentiment of longing and hope, characteristic of Manilow's ability to craft melodies that resonate deeply with listeners seeking comfort and optimism.
