lyrics

THE SILVER LINING’S IN THE SKY
IF YOU READ BETWEEN THE LINES YOU’LL FIND
I’M LOST IN RHYME, I HAVE NO WORDS
JUST MEMORIES AND BROKEN STRINGS
AND THE SONGS TO SING…
THE SONGS TO SING

I SAW YOU SHINING LIKE A NEW YEAR’S SPECIAL
HOPES AND DREAMS, YEAH IT COULD ALL HAPPEN
WAY BEFORE OUR TIME LIKE A NEW DYIN’ BREED
BELLS AND WHISTLES RINGIN’
WE WERE ALL THINKIN’ BOUT THE SONGS WE’RE SINGIN…
SONGS THAT WE’RE SINGIN’
SINGIN’ OUR SONGS

LOOKIN’ OVER YONDER TO THE HIGH AND WIDES
I CAN’T TAKE IT ANY LONGER, TO MY SURPRISE
ALL THE RATS ARE IN THE ROSES DRINKIN’ THEIR WINE
WITH THEIR HATS AND THEIR POSES WITH NO REASON OR RHYME
TO THE SONGS THEY’RE SINGIN’…
THE SONGS THAT THEY’RE SINGIN’
THEY’RE SINGIN’ THEIR SONG

WELL, THE GOOD TIMES ARE COMIN’, IT’S JUST AROUND THE BEND
WON’T YOU COME A-RUNNIN’, WE CAN MAKE IT TO THE END
WE’LL BE SKIPPIN’ & A-JUMPIN’, ALL THINGS SAID
WE’LL BE LAUGHIN’ & A-LOVIN’, WON’T YOU SING ALONG
TO THE SONGS WE’RE SINGIN’….
THE SONGS THAT WE’RE SINGIN’
WE’RE SINGIN’ OUR SONGS
