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. [Chorus] 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. 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. [Chorus]
