Years of Plenty lyrics
Father would tell me
With pride in his eyes
'Tomorrow you'll see
The Turtle-Dove fly
Just wait and see
Tomorrow they'll be
Years of plenty
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Years of plenty
For you and for me'

Although we were poor
And it was hard to cope
Life was like a war
'Never give up hope'
Is what he'd say to me
'Your spirit will fly free
In years of plenty
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Years of plenty
For you and for me'

'To enjoy good times
You've had to suffer pain
To reach the sunshine
You've had to walk in the rain'
'To enjoy good times
You've had to suffer pain
To reach the sunshine
You've had to walk in the rain'

'The tunnel's so long
The end's within view
For we must be strong
To make it on through
Then when that time comes
Our hearts will sing
We'll dance in the sun
We'll dive in the spring
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Years of plenty
For you and for me'

I'm staring at the door
Waiting for that knock
Since Father's been gone
I've felt I've been lost
But I remember that
What he'd say to me
As I sat on his knee
Is 'always believe
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
In years of plenty
For you and for me'

Years of plenty
Years of plenty
Years of plenty
Years of plenty
