Lyrics
VERSE
The front page of your paper is bound to make you sad,
Especially if you’re the worrying sort;
So turn the front page over where news is not so bad—
There’s consolation in the weather report.
CHORUS
It’s a lovely day tomorrow;
Tomorrow is a lovely day.
Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes
On tomorrow’s clear blue skies.
If today your heart is weary,
I every little thing looks gray,
Just forget your troubles and learn to say,
Tomorrow is a lovely day.
REPEAT CHORUS
