Lyrics Better Day - 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,
Or that ol' sky turns the darkest,
You gotta keep the faith
Cause I believe there’s a better day.
And those ol' blues?
Why they’re gonna just roll right on away,
I know they are,
Listen to me!
All this 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 give 'em the best of me
Lift the shades,
Fix my gaze
On a better day!
Clear the way!
Better days just up ahead,
When sorrow ain’t sleeping in my bed,
And people ain’t messing with my head,
There’s a better way,
There’s a brighter day!
Oh there’s a better day,
With clearer sky,
Hope and promise on the rise,
Oh, the future, well, it’s looking bright
On a better day,
Look away, look away.
Oh… ohohohoho hmmmm
There’s a better day!
Oh better days just up ahead,
When sorrow ain’t sleeping in my bed,
And people ain’t messing with my head,
There’s a better day,
There’s a better day!
Oh all this blue it ain’t sky and sea,
Some of that blue’s gonna fall on me,
Oh, the future’s looking bright,
There’s a better day!
Look away, look away.
