You Can’t Stay Blue.
A pain you can put out
A tragedy will end
And sorrow pouts
But turns about
As soon as someone
Plays the friend
But good times never end
They cannot be erased
No matter how bad times become
The happy ones won’t be replaced
We put out of our minds
The ones who were unkind
And even marching home from war
A comrade’s quip will make us roar
Go back and make a list
Of all the times you kissed
Add one for when you felt the breeze,
Fun in the sun,
Just being pleased
These special moments all are there
And they’re not going anywhere
That’s the beauty of it all
Laugh at the scab
Forget the fall
Put to the test
It will hold true
With grace, in time,
You can’t stay Blue.
