I was blue ain't sky and sea Some of that blue's bound to get on me But the blues don't come to stay They'll move away on a better day Troubles, and woes and misery Ain't gonna get the best of me Lift the shades, fix my gaze On a better day, clear the way Better days just up ahead When sorrow ain't sleeping in my bed When people ain't messing with my head There's a better way, there's a brighter day There's a better day with clearer skies Hope and promise on the rise Oh the future is looking bright On those better days, look away, look away Better day oh Better days just up ahead When sorrow ain't sleeping in my bed And people ain't messing with my head There's a better day, there's a better day I was blue it ain't sky and sea Some of that blue's gonna fall on me Oh the future's looking bright There's a better bay Look away, look away
