The Bright Side OF Lie.

Life has a bright side, search till
you find it,
Trouble oft comes with it's smiles
behind it;
The darkest hours of night are just
before day,
Then look up dropping soul, sing
your cares away.
Singing merry songs, the aching
heart may soothe,
Signing never makes life's pathway
very smooth;
Don't fret your life away, but try to
make it bright,
Then sweet pleasures will for you
ever be in sight.
Do not borrow trouble, there'l be
enough for you,
It's ever on The market for you and
me, too;
Just close your eyes against IT, let
it pass by,
Life's never made brighter with a
groan or a sigh.
Don't try to cross the bridge before
you get to it,
But if pleasures gate opens just pass
right through it;
To make the world sweet you must
be sweet yourself
And lay all the sour things high up
on the shelf.
When the storms of life are raging
just try TO keep sweet,
And have a smile ready for every
one you meet;
The storms will pass away, the
sky'll be clear again,
The soul will then be sweeter and
the heart less pain.
Be true to yourself, be good to your
neighbor,
The light will shine brighter in all
life's labor;
Be brave, be strong, ever bravely
stem life's tide,
Keep the truth before you, life has
a bright side.
