  • I was 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 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
    When people ain't messing with my head
    There's a better way, there's a brighter day

    There's a better day with clearer skies
    Hope and promise on the rise
    Oh the future is looking bright
    On those better days, look away, look away

    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

    I was 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 bay
    Look away, look away Writer/s: DOLLY PARTON
