Judy Garland - Look for the Silver Lining lyrics

As sung by Judy Garland

As I wash my dishes, I'll be following a plan,

Till I see the brightness in ev'ry pot and pan.

I am sure this point of view will ease the daily grind,

So I'll keep repeating in my mind.

Look for the silver lining

When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.

Remember somewhere, the sun is shining

And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you.

A heart, full of joy and gladness

Will always banish sadness and strife

So always look for the silver lining

And try to find the sunny side of life.

So always look for the silver lining

And try to find the sunny side of life.

As originally written by Jerome Kern,

Introduced by Marilyn Miller and Irving Fisher in the musical, Sally, 1920

and performed by Marilyn Miller in the film Sally, 1930:

Boy:

Please don't be offended if I preach to you a while,

Tears are out of place in eyes that were meant to smile.

There's a way to make your very biggest troubles small,

Here's the happy secret of it all.

Refrain:

Look for the silver lining

When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.

Remember somewhere, the sun is shining

And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you.

A heart, full of joy and gladness

Will always banish sadness and strife

So always look for the silver lining

And try to find the sunny side of life.

Girl:

As I wash my dishes, I'll be following your plan,

Till I see the brightness in ev'ry pot and pan.

I am sure your point of view will ease the daily grind,

So I'll keep repeating in my mind.

Refrain:

Look for the silver lining

When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.

Remember somewhere, the sun is shining

And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you.

A heart, full of joy and gladness

Will always banish sadness and strife

So always look for the silver lining

And try to find the sunny side of life.
