lyrics

Feeling sad, sad and blue
You may feel that no one loves you
Feeling bad, everything you do
Turns out wrong, there's nothing new

But there are things, things you can do
To chase away those lonely blues
And when you feel so undone
Do something you think is fun

So I pick up my fiddle and I play a pretty tune
Go outside and holler at the moon
I dance in the sun and sing a happy song
Picnic in the park with a friend along
Lay in the grass, look at the sky
Find a silver lining in the clouds rolling by
Call a good friend, lend a helping hand
Write a new song to play with the band

Sad is not forever
It goes away, it goes away
Without the rain, the rain in April,
There would be no flowers in May

So I find a deck of cards and I learn a new game
Pick a bunch of flowers and make a daisy chain
I sit in the sun and I read my favorite book
Go and ask my grandma to show me how to cook
Lay in the grass, look at the sky
Find a silver lining in the clouds rolling by
Call a good friend, lend a helping hand
Instead of what I can't do, think of what I can!

Sad is not forever
It goes away, it goes away
Without the rain, the rain in April,
There would be no flowers in May
