But the World Goes Round Lyrics by John Kander

New York, New York (Original Motion Picture Score)

0

Sometimes you're happy
And sometimes you're sad
But the world goes round
And sometimes you lose
Every nickel you've had
But the world goes round
Sometimes you're dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn't alter a thing
Take it from me
There's still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a fall, and a spring
And sometimes a friend
Starts treating you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deafening sound
Somebody loses, somebody wins
One day it's kicks
Then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins
And world goes round
But the world goes round
But the world goes round
Sometimes your dreams get broken in pieces
But that doesn't matter at all
Take it from me
There's still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a spring, and a fall
And sometimes a friend
Starts treating you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deafening sound
Somebody loses, and somebody wins
Then one day it's kicks
Then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins
And the world goes round
And round and round and round and round
The world goes round
And round
And round
And round
