Why Can't You - Al Jolson
You may declare
Life is unfair
Keeping your share
Of happiness
You are to blame
They called your name
You did not claim
Your happiness
You say you're through and you sigh
How do you know till you try
Violets from tiny seeds
Fight their way up through the weeds;
Violets can do it
Why can't you
Little brooklets breaking free
Wind their way down to the sea;
Little brooks can do it
Why can't you
Hopes and dreams are things that life can shatter
Learn to lift your head and say 'It doesn't matter '
Birdies sing in cages too
They know that's the thing to do;
Little birds can do it
Why can't you
Violets from tiny seeds
Fight their way up through the weeds;
Violets can do it
Why can't you
And little brooklets breaking free
They find their way down to the sea;
Little brooks can do it
Why can't you
Hopes and dreams are things that life can shatter
Learn to lift your head and say 'It doesn't matter '
Birdies sing in cages too
They know that's the thing to do;
Little birds can do it
Why can't you
