Beverly Cleary's 115th Dream

Well, Ramona,
Forever seems like such a very long time
But time's the one thing
That's never on your side
I'm on your side
Yes, I'm on your side
Most of the time
And it's such a very good side

That's a very good sign

For peace and love and harmony
And all the things that lovers need
Like hope and health and clarity
And time

Oh, precious, precious time

Ramona,
Well, heavens to Betsy
You've got to try, try, try
Try to smile
More often than you do
It's the healthy, healthy, healthy
Thing to do

Well, Ramona,
Yesterday was very difficult for me
Difficult for you
So you kept your distance, too
Though I don't blame you
I could really use you now
I could use your company now
If we keeps our wits, somehow
We might just pull through

And, Ramona,
For goodness' sake
We've got to make, make, make
Make the most of our time

For peace and love and harmony
And all the things that lovers need
Like hope and health and clarity
And time

Oh, precious, precious time
