Lyrics

  1. The more I roam about
    The more I dream about a rainbow
    Just hoping that a rainbow might soon appear
    I’d walk a million miles
    To find the kind of smiles that I know
    Would bring a golden rainbow and skies so clear
    Although I try, I really get nowhere
    Sometime I’m hoping that I’ll get somewhere

Chorus
There must be a silver lining
That’s shining for me
There must be a way of finding
A message of sympathy
Just a little coo from the bluebird
Would make a new bird out of me
There must be a silver lining
That’s shining for me

  1. I’ve been so blue a lot
    I’ve had an awful lot of bad luck
    An awful lot of bad luck has come my way
    Although I sit and mope
    I try to smile and hope that good luck
    A little bit of good luck will come some day
    Just like the skies my eyes are so cloudy
    Someday Miss Lady Luck might say “Howdy”
