LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
Words and music by Howard Flynn, ©1932.
As recorded by Gracie Fields.

CHORUS: I'm looking on the bright side,
Though I'm walking in the shade,
Sticking out my chest,
Hoping for the best,
Looking on the bright side of life.

I'm waiting for the right tide,
And if luck comes to my aid,
Giving me a break,
I shall be awake,
Looking on the bright side of life.

Today I'm in the shadow; tomorrow maybe
The clouds will lift and let the sun shift over to me.

I'm looking on the bright side,
Though today's all care and strife.
I can wear a grin,
Sticking out my chin,
Looking on the bright side of life.

VERSE: Sometimes grey days make us weary,
And nothing seems worthwhile.
Though it's difficult, just keep cheery,
And say with a smile: CHORUS
