When you go on getting troubled, an the world
seems upside down,
When misfortune stares upon you, with an aw-
ful-looking frown,
There's cheerfuness in KNOWN, when it's
dark for me an you
That the sun is always shinn' and the sky is
always blue.
When the clouds appear the thickest and the
daylight seems Withdrawn,
An the hopeful joy Of Twin seems to be en-
tirely gone,
Just remember, at the darkest, just little dis
lance through,
That the sun is always shinin' and the sky is
always blue.
So there amt no use in frettin at the hardships
that we meet,
For the birds are still a-singn' an the flowers
are just as sweet;
An behind the deepest shadow there's heap
of promise too,
For the sun is always shinin' an the sky is
