Fifty Years After The Fair |
| Fifty years after the fair |
| The picture I have is so clear |
| Underneath the clouds in the air |
| Rose the Trylon and the Perisphere |
| And that for me was the finest of scenes |
| The perfect world across the river in Queens |
| Fifty years after the fair |
| I drink from a different cup |
| But it does no good to compare |
| Cause nothing ever measures up |
| I guess just for a second we thought |
| That all good things would rise to the top |
| And how beautiful it was, tomorrow |
| We’ll never have a day of sorrow |
| We got through the '30s but our belts were tight |
| We conceived of a future with no hope in sight |
| We’ve got decades ahead of us to get it right, I swear |
| Fifty years after the fair |
| Fifty years after the fair |
| I live in tomorrow town |
| Even on a wing and a prayer |
| The future never came around |
| It hurts to even think of those days |
| The damage we do by the hopes that we raise |
| But how beautiful it was, tomorrow |
| We’ll never have a day of sorrow |
| We got through the '30's but our belts were tight |
| We conceived of a future with no hope in sight |
| We’ve got decades ahead of us to get it right, I swear |
| Fifty years after the fair |
