Lyrics

  1. You’ve been crying now I can see
    Don’t deny it now, come to me
    Tho’ the skies are gray, clouds hang low
    Brush those tears away, don’t you know, dearie

Chorus:
After the night-time there’s always the bright-time
Shadows must fade at dawn
After the showers the sunshine and flowers
To prove that the storm has gone
After the yearning for someone’s returning
Tear drops will cease to fall
After the sorrow, a fairer tomorrow
Joy finds us after all

2. When you’re sighing, dear, stop and smile
It’s worth trying dear, just a while
Tho’ each pleasure seems lost to you
All your golden dreams will come true, maybe
