Uplifting Songs ‎#11

11. Look for the Silver Lining

1 Look on the brightest side of life,
Somewhere the sun is shining;
In ev’ry cloud that swings above,
Look for the silver lining.

Refrain:
Look for the silver lining,
Somewhere the sun is shining;
Waste not your time repining, friend, but
Look for the silver lining.

2 What tho’ your friends should leave today,
Others will come tomorrow;
There is a bright side ev’rywhere,
Happiness you can borrow. [Refrain]

3 Steep is the path you climb today,
Soon comes the peaceful valley;
Fair seems the fields and rolling hills
After the street and alley. [Refrain]

4 If all were sunshine, bright and clear,
With not a shade or shower,
We soon would miss the fruit and grain,
And ev’ry fruit and flower. [Refrain]
