Overnight Success lyrics
The time has come,to take a look around us.
See once again, if we are living happily.
Cause almost everything is changing.
Things are seldom, what they seem.
And, if we could be honest .
We would say what we mean.
You look at me and you think its been so easy.
Things that you want,they should have been here yesterday,
Well, that's just not the way it happens,
I've worked hard for my respect,
Believed what I was feeling,
And tried not to expect.
Overnight success,
Stars up on the rise.
These are ever changing times.
Where some will last and some will burn out too fast.
I've stood in its light.
Overnight success, I know doesn't happen overnight.
Well, the world is still a circle.
What goes around, someday will come around again.
So just treat every person fairly.
As you start upon your climb.
Cause, everything will happen in its own special time.
Overnight success,
Stars upon the rise.
These are ever changing times.
Where some wiil last, and some will burn out too fast
I've stood in its light,
Overnight success, yes I know, doesn't happen overnight
Well the world will be a circle
What goes around,someday will come, around again.
So just treat every person fairly
Reach for everyone's respect.
And just believe in what you're doing.
And try not to expect.
Overnight success,
O, stars upon the rise,
These are ever changing times.
Where some will last and some will burn out too fast
I've stood in that light
Overnight success I know, doesn't happen overnight

What a song!! Exactly What I need to listen too at the moment. I feel to play it all day for one straight week but I tenants and son will think something is really wrong with me.
Thank Gladys Knight.
I will also like to know who wrote this song.
