My Luck Will Surely Change

I remember when you first learned to talk
You ran around the house
You said an Oscar-worthy monologue
I had trouble sounding out my name
The noise I made
Was like a bear you couldn’t tame
And as the birds above
Would part their wings
I’m finding it best not to dwell on all these things
Oh, see my world past yesterday
Singing my luck will surely change
Could you throw another log on the fire dear
Since the well ran dry
It’s hard to keep you warm — come here
And if the newly-weds can wear their rings
I’m finding it best not to dwell on all these things
Oh, see my world past yesterday
Singing my luck will surely change
