Jerome Kern — Look for the Silver Lining

(Verse 1) 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 biggest troubles small Here's the happy secret of it all (Chorus) Look for the silver lining Whene'er a cloud appears in the blue Remember, somewhere 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 (Verse 2) 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'll keep repeating in my mind (Chorus) Look for the silver lining Whene'er a cloud appears in the blue Remember, somewhere 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
