By the Time It Gets Dark

Baby, every cloud has a silver lining

Baby every dog really has his day

And it matters to me to see you smiling

Why don't we blow all your cares away ?

Yesterday is gone and will be forgotten

And today is where every new day starts

Got to be free as the leaves in Autumn

You may be sad but it never lasts

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing

Just wait and see

All the changes there'll be

By the time it gets dark

We could go walking out in the sunshine

Look at all the people out in the street

Hurrying away to a business luncheon

Waiting for a taxi for aching feet

Light up your face, baby, let's get going

Want to see a change in those weary eyes

We'll have some fun, take a boat out rowing

Why on earth should life be so serious?

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing

Just wait and see

All the changes there'll be

By the time it gets dark
