(Verse 1)
Please don't be offended if I preach to you awhile
Tears are out of place in eyes that were meant to smile
There's a way to make your 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 2)
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

(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
