Evening with Honeydreamers

I saw a blind man,
He was a kind man,
Helping a fellow along,
One could not see,
One could not walk,
But they both were humming this song;

When you're smiling, When you're smiling,
The whole world smiles with you,
When you're laughing, When you're laughing,
The sun comes shining through,
But when you're crying you bring on the rain,
So stop your sighing be happy again,
Keep on smiling 'cause when you're smiling,
The whole world smiles with you.

I used to worry,
I used to hurry,
Each time it started to rain,
Now I see light,
Learned wrong from right,
And you'll never hear me complain;

When you're smiling, When you're smiling,
The whole world smiles with you,
When you're laughing, When you're laughing,
The sun comes shining through,
But when you're crying you bring on the rain,
So stop your sighing be happy again,
Keep on smiling 'cause when you're smiling,

Yes, it's a good day for singin' a song,
And it's a good day for movin' along,
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything go wrong,
A good day from mornin' till night.

Yes, it's a good day for shinin' your shoes,
And it's a good day for losin' the blues,
Ev'rything to gain and nothin' to lose,
Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night.

I said to the sun, "good mornin', sun.
Rise and shine, today"
You know you've gotta get goin'
If you're gonna make a showin'
And you know you've got the right of way

Cause it's a good day for payin' your bills,
And it's a good day for curin' your ills,
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills,
Cause it's a good day from mornin' till night.

Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain

You can't know about everything
Only pleasure and pain.
You wonder why I come here with head to my hands

Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion?
A thorn in your side
A child to protect that claims he's free.

Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection.
Darling
Come quickly
Come ease my mind

For my prayers have not been answered in a long time.

I've already made my bed
Like it or not

As long as there's no regrets I'll be here
When the ride stops.
These comforts to me and these crosses to bare
With which we live.

Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection.
Baby
I can't drag you into this mess!

I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect.
Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven

We leave home expecting to find a blue bird,
Hoping ev'ry cloud will be silver lined.
But we all return as we live wo learn,
That we left our happiness behind.

When they sing you "Look for the Silver Lining,"
It is silver dollars they're looking for.
You will find my friend that the rainbow's end,
Is somewhere around your kitchen door.

The bird with feathers of blue, is waiting for you,
Back in your own back yard,
You'll see your castle in Spain, through your window pane,
Back in your own back yard.
Oh you can go to the East go to the West,
But someday you'll come weary at heart back where you started from,
You'll find your happiness lies, right under your eyes,
Back in your own backyard.
