Lyrics Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton

Better Day

Now we don't know what heaven looks like

But we've seen enough hell right here and right now.

But when the road is the roughest

And the problems are the toughest,

Or when the times are the hardest

And that ol' sky turn the darkest

You gotta keep faith 'cause I believe there's a better day.

And those ol' blues, why they're gonna just roll aon away!

I know that are, listen to me...

All that's blue ain't sky and sea

Some of that blue's bound to get on me.

But the blues don't come to stay,

They'll move away on a better day.

Troubles and woes and misery

Ain't gonna get the bet of me.

Lift the shades, fix my gaze

On a better day clear away.

Better days just up ahead

When sorrow ain't sleepin' in my bed,

When people ain't messin' with my head.

There's a better way, there's there's a brighter day.

Oh, there's a better day with clear skies

Hope and promise on the rise.

Oh, the future, well, it's lookin' bright, on a better day.

Look away, look away.

There's a better day.

Oh better day just up ahead

When sorrow ain't sleepin' in my bed,

And people ain't messin' with my head.

There's a better day, there's a better day.

Oh, all that's blue, it ain't sky and sea

Some of that blue's gonna fall on me;

Oh, the future's lookin' bright,

There's a better day, look away look away.
