Intro: Please don't be offended if I preach to you a while Tears that are out of place in eyes that were meant to smile There's a way to make your very biggest trouble small Here's the happy secret of it all Look for the silver lining Whene'er a cloud ap - pears 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
