Dolly Parton
Better Day
[Verse 1]
Now we don't know what heaven looks like
But we've seen enough hell right here and right now
But when the road is the roughest
And the problems are the toughest
Or when the times are the hardest
Or that old sky turns the darkest
You got to keep the faith
Because I believe there's a better day
And those old blues?
Why they're going to just roll right on away
I know they are
Listen to me!

All this blue is not sky and sea
Some of that blue's bound to get on me
But the blues don't come to stay
They'll move away
On a better day!
Troubles and woes, and misery
I am not going to give them the best of me
Lift the shades
Fix my gaze
On a better day!
Clear the way!
[Chorus]
Better days just up ahead
When sorrow is not sleeping in my bed
And people is not messing with my head
There's a better way
There's a brighter day!

[Verse 2]
Oh there's a better day
With clearer sky
Hope and promise on the rise
Oh, the future, well, it's looking bright
On a better day
Look away, look away

Oh… ohohohoho hmmmm
There's a better day!

[Chorus]

Oh all this blue it is not sky and sea
Some of that blue's going to fall on me

[Outro]
Oh, the future's looking bright
There's a better day!
Look away, look away
