SOMEHOW
(Larry Grossman / Hal Hackady)


Shirley Bassey - 1973


You are what you are 
It was what it was
The world didn't end 
The world never does

I wake up alive 
From habit, I guess
Yes, I can survive
One love more or less
 
And sometime, somewhere, somehow 
I laugh all my laughter
I've cried my tears now 
I want my years now, my years

I've nowhere to go 
That I have to be
There's no one I know 
Who's waiting for me

There's so much inside 
I still have to give
So much to be tried 
A lifetime to live

And sometime, somewhere, somehow 
I'll have my tomorrow
Today won't stop me 
No way to stop me, not now

The world still holds me 
I want what's due now 
If not with you now 
Then someone, sometime, somehow
