I came looking for magic.
I did not come looking for gold.
Either story ends tragic.
I’m not getting very old.
CHORUS
I was fine before you came along
and I’ll be fine now that you’re gone.
I went looking for heaven.
That I’d die before I got there I was afraid.
Sorrow, sorrow, yester-morrow.
Here I come to save the day.
I bet you bet I’d never bet it.
I bet you bet I wish I knew it well.
But that I didn’t laugh didn’t mean I didn’t get it.
I just think some jokes are just too sad to tell.
