Things Happen Lyrics

Things Happen lyrics

Paul Barrere, Fred Tackett, Bill Payne 



I had a dream the other night 

One of those dreams you hear about 

Was ridin' a downtown bus uptown 

But I couldn't get off... oh no, I couldn't get off 

  

Then the angel of mercy 

she takes me by the hand 

Says we're all goin' to heaven some day 

Don't worry, don't hurry 

Just do what you can, because 

  

Things happen in their own sweet time 

Things happen, things happen 

Things happen in their own sweet way 

Don't you wait for tomorrow get your livin' today 

  

Thought I knew what I wanted 

Ya know, be a big success 

And to get what I wanted 

I just had to do my best... just do my best 

  

But when your best just ain't good enough 

Think you'll never get ahead 

It leaves ya wonerin' jus' what it is ya tryin' to prove 

And ya trying to prove it to 

  

Things happen in their own sweet time 

Things happen, things happen 

Things happen in their own sweet way 

Don't you wait for tomorrow get your livin' today 

  

Think ya want this 

Ya know you want that 

Don't wanna wait for nothin' no no 

That's a matter of fact, just a matter of fact 

  

No matter how hard I want 

Make everythin' be right 

I still must remember yeah that 

Left is loose, right is tight 

And payday comes on Friday night 

  

Things happen in their own sweet time 

Things happen, things happen 

Things happen in their own sweet way 

Don't you wait for tomorrow get your livin' today 

Things happen in their own sweet time 

Things happen, things happen 

Things happen in their own sweet way 

Don't you wait for tomorrow get your livin' today
