When the lights go on again, all over the world
We’re allowed to roam again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above
A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but “hello" to love
When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like gatherings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world

Ever since my heart took such a tumble
I've wondered if your love for me would last
When landmarks fall and institutions crumble
Will it be just a memory of the past?
When lovers make no rendezvous
To stroll along Fifth Avenue
When this familiar world is through
Will you still be mine?
When cabs don't drive around the park
No windows light the summer dark
When love has lost its secret spark
Will you still be mine?
When moonlight on the Hudson's not romancy
And spring no longer turns a young man's fancy
When glamour girls have lost their charms
And sirens just mean false alarms
When lovers heed no call to arms
Will you still be mine?
————-
When Elsa's parties are no fun
When FDR declines to run
When Eleanor’s "My Day" is done
Will you still be mine?
When Garbo gives out interviews
And Harlem folks forget the blues
When G-Man Hoover's out of clues
Will you still be mine?
A song of love will just remain a gay note
When we have finally paid our FHA note
When Barrymore first hides his face
And when Yehudi leaves a trace
When Crosby's horses win a race
Will you still be mine?

When the porter yells Massachusetts
I'll be there with bells, Massachusetts
Homesick as can be, Massachusetts
Only place for me, Massachusetts
Got a special date With that New England State
How my heart will knock, Massachusetts
To see Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts
Want to roam around, Massachusetts
In Nantucket town, Massachusetts
I can hardly wait
I hope the train ain't late
You can't guess how much it means for me to be there
Childhood friends and childhood scenes for me to see there
'Neath blue skies above, Massachusetts
With the one I love, Massachusetts
Just like Jack and Jill, Massachusetts
We'll climb Bunker Hill, Massachusetts
Spread the news around
I'm Massachusetts bound
Where they speak with ee's, Massachusetts
Boston if you pleese, Massachusetts
Where they can't say can't, Massachusetts
And where Aunt meets Aunt, Massachusetts
I miss Cambridge where
they have that Harvard air
Home of books and bards
Famous boulevards
Rich in history
heart of liberty
how we love to hear
the tale of Paul Revere
As you walk to Lexington, you think of glory
When those minute men were done, they left a story
Narrow winding streets
That’s where culture meets
Where they bake with pride
Beans are bonafide
spread the news around
I’m Massachusetts bound

Ever since my heart took such a tumble
I've wondered if your love for me would last
When landmarks fall and institutions crumble
Will it be just a memory of the past?
When love no longer conquers all,
When winter doesn’t follow fall
Instead of text, we’d rather call....
will you still be mine?
When terms of service are one page,
healthcare for all is all the rage
When women earn an equal wage,
Will you still be mine?
When fondest memories are not so fleeting,
when handshakes are once more a normal greeting,
When we can fold a fitted sheet,
When Mozart’s requiem’s complete
When Donald Trump admits defeat,
Will you still be mine?
When CNN breaks no more news
When Bezos finally pays his dues
When anybody likes Ted Cruz,
Will you still be mine?
When TikTok trends last years or more
When all the internet's a bore
When climate change can't be ignored
Will you still be mine?
When we no longer feel so isolated
When anti vaxxers get inoculated
When art can be a livelihood,
when mysteries all are understood
When jazz like this is dead for good,
Will you still be mine?
