vol. 564.
Oh, life for me is endless misery,
Guess it was just meant to be that
way.
For you see,
Cupid seems to be inclined to be
unkind,
Mm, why is a good man so hard to
find?
In my dreams, he comes to me,
Oh, that dreams were reality;
But, alas, my reveries, all bring
to mind,
Why is a good man so hard to find?
In my dreams, he comes to me,
Oh, that dreams were reality;
Oh, but, alas, my reveries, all
bring to mind,
Why is a good man so hard to find?
Hard to find!
