(Verse 1)
My dear father liked to say
Hop to the top of the day
The drops are easy to swallow
My dear father liked to say
Mop your tears and mend your sorrows
To not drown yourself wishing for better tomorrows

(Chorus 1)
You want to think bright
You want to think right
A star falling down, down, down
Doesn't break the night

You want to think bright
Whatever you do
Shadows bring you down, down, down
Dimming all the light
As you try to climb

For life has a funny way of going round and round
On a ride it goes one day
Side to side one day upside-down down down

You can make it right
Well worth a good fight
And if some days have downs and lows
Open your arms to better tomorrows
(Verse 2)
A floating tune is in thе air
The simple things you care to sharе
A trace of light, a flock of sparrows
Anything high, you dare to follow
Open your arms to better tomorrows
Tomorrows

(Chorus 2)
You want to think bright
You want to think right
To let your heart sing, sing, sing
On a summer night

You want to think bright
Whatever you do
When the strings go zing, zing, zing
Fly high with the band
Just get up and swing

(Instrumental break)

You can make it right
Well worth a good fight
And if some days have downs and lows
Open your arms to better tomorrows
(Bridge)
Watercolors in May
Painting a purple sky
Up, and a line, a river
Strokes on a mandolin
Playing a gentle sigh
These are the simple things that matter

(Chorus 3)
You want to think bright
You want to think right
And let your heart sing, sing, sing
On a summer night

You want to think bright
Whatever you do
Teeny bells go ding, ding, ding
Laughing in the wind
Kite on a string

For life has a funny way of going round and round
On a ride it goes one day
Side to side one day upside-down down down

And you make it right
And your heart is bright
So let the world go how it goes
Open your arms to better
Open your arms to better tomorrows
