I was blue ain't 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
Ain't gonna get the best of me
Lift the shades, fix my gaze
On a better day, clear the way

Better days just up ahead
When sorrow ain't sleeping in my bed
When people ain't messing with my head
There's a better way, there's a brighter day

There's a better day with clearer skies
Hope and promise on the rise
Oh the future is looking bright
On those better days, look away, look away

Better day oh

Better days just up ahead
When sorrow ain't sleeping in my bed
And people ain't messing with my head
There's a better day, there's a better day

I was blue it ain't sky and sea
Some of that blue's gonna fall on me
Oh the future's looking bright
There's a better bay
Look away, look away
