Never In A Million Years

Sarah Vaughan · Other Songs - Sarah Vaughan

This is the only life for me - yeah

Surround myself around my own fantasy

You just gotta be strong and believe in yourself

Forget all the sadness 'cause love is all you need

Love is all you need



Do you know what it's like to be alone in this world

When you're down and out on your luck and you're a failure

Wake up screaming in the middle of the night

You think it's all been a waste of time

It's been a bad year

You start believing everything's gonna be alright

Next minute you're down and you're flat on your back

A brand new day is beginning

Get that sunny feeling and you're on your way (way)



Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows



Do you know how it feels when you don't have friend (friend)

Without a job and no money to spend

You're a stranger



All you think about is suicide

One of these days you're gonna lose the fight

You better keep out of danger - yeah

That same old feeling just keeps burning deep inside (inside)

You keep telling yourself it's gonna be the end

Oh - get yourself together

Things are looking better everyday (day)



Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows



This is the only life for me - yeah

Surround myself around my own fantasy



You just gotta be strong and believe in yourselves

Forget all the sadness 'cause love is all you need



Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows



You just gotta be strong and believe in yourselves

Forget all the sadness 'cause love is all you need yeah

Love is all you need

Oh baby love is all you need



Just believe - just keep passing the open windows

Just believe - just keep passing the open windows



Just keep passing the open windows

Just keep passing the open windows

Just keep passing the open windows

Just keep passing the open windows

Just keep passing the open windows

Just keep passing the open windows

Keep passing the open windows
