If you awake to one more dreary day,
an empty heart with empty hours to kill,
remember brighter skies are on their way.
A breath of air can blow the clouds away;
thoughts, like clouds, can drift aloft at will,
if you awake to one more dreary day.
If some stubborn clouds should decide to stay,
their shadows causing something of a chill,
remember brighter skies are on their way.
Search out old memories; you'll find that they
help lift your spirits up and linger still,
if you awake to one more dreary day.
Memories, like sunshine, do not stay at bay;
their warmth and love your empty heart will fill.
Remember brighter skies are on their way.
Sunny days arrive with a great "hurray"
with further magic moments to instill.
If you awake to one more dreary day,
remember brighter skies are on their way.
