167. Brighten Up the Shady Spots

1 Brighten up the shady spots all along the way;
Where the sunshine gleams around clouds will never stay;
If there’s joy within your heart let some other know;
Leave a little bit of love everywhere you go.

Refrain:
Bright up the shady spots,
Drive the clouds away;
Into some despairing life
Send a cheering ray.

2 Short will prove the tiresome road if the sky is blue;
Shadows soon will take their flight if your life rings true;
Sing a song of hope and cheer though the showers fall;
God is in His heaven still, watching over all. [Refrain]

3 Brighten up the shady spots lying close at hand;
Make the world a better place, just as He has planned;
With a kindly word or deed send a shining ray;
Leave tomorrow to itself—brighten up today. [Refrain]
