Struggling with When? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
If elephants could fly I'd be a little more optimistic But I don't see that happening anytime soon I don't mean to sound so pessimistic But I don't think that cow really jumped over the moon When will I wake up? Why did we break up? When will we make up? When money grows on trees People live in peace Everyone agrees When happiness is free Love can guarantee You'll come back to me, that's when I'd love to wake up smiling full of the joys of spring And hear on CNN that Elvis lives again And that John's back with the Beatles and they're going out on tour I'll be the firs in line for tickets, gotta see that show for sure When will I wake up? Why did we break up? When will we make up? When money grows on trees People live in peace Everyone agrees When happiness is free Love can guarantee You'll come back to me, that's when When will I wake up? Why did we break up? When will we make up? When money grows on trees People live in peace Everyone agrees When happiness is free Love can guarantee You'll come back to me, that's when
