Look For The Silver Lining (Rod McKuen) - Jerome Kern

Please don’t be offended if I preach to you awhile

Tears are out of place in eyes that were meant to smile

There’s a way to make your very biggest troubles small

Here’s the happy secret of it all

Look for the silver lining

When e’er a cloud appears in the blue

Remember some where the sun is shining

And so the right thing to do

Is make it shine for you

A heart, full of joy and gladness

Will always banish sadness and strife

So always look for the silver lining

And try to find the sunny side of life

[Girl}

As I wash my dishes, I’ll be following your plan

Till I see the brightness in ev’ry pot and pan

I am sure your point of view will ease the daily grind

So I keep repeating in my mind
