Somehow I Never Could Believe Polyna Stoska

[MRS. MAURRANT]
Somehow I never could believe
That life was meant to be all dull and grey
Somehow I always will believe
There'll be a brighter day

Folks should try to find a way to get along together
A way to make the world a friendly happy place
Full of laughter and kind words
And friendliness on everybody's face

But somehow in the world that I grew up in
The streets were dark with misery and distress
The endless daily grind was too much for them
It took away all hope of happiness

When I was a girl, I remember
I used to dream about a party dress to wear
But I never had a party dress
And I guess my dreams got lost somewhere
Nobody seemed to care

But when I grew up, I said, "I'll make it!"
For I believed there'd be a lucky star above me
In the fairy tales I read, the maiden always said
"I know I'll find a fairy prince to love me."
