[Verse]

(Blair) Please don't be offended if I preach to you a while,

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

There's a way to make you very 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]

(Sally) 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.
