Every now and then a blind squirrel finds an acorn Every now and then a cripple sparrow takes to the wind Lately that's what keeps me goin' I find comfort just in knowin' That it happens every now and then Every now and then the sun shines when it's rainin' Every now and then a down and outer finds a true friend As sure as there's a Lord above me I know someday someone will love me Thank God it happens every now and then Every now and then a seeker finds the answer Every now and then a loser learns how to win I believe that some sweet evenin' I'll find someone to believe in I know it happens every now and then Thank God it happens every now and then
