Sandy Denny 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 dont 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 well be laughing

Just wait and see


All the changes therell 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, lets get going
Want to see a change in those weary eyes

Well have some fun, take a boat out rowing
Why on earth should life be so serious?




And maybe, by the evening well be laughing

Just wait and see

All the changes therell be

By the time it gets dark.
