Look for the Silver Lining
Look for the Silver Lining song lyrics – by Jerome Kern, J. Lawrence Cook – performed in ‘Till the Clouds Roll By
As I wash my dishes, I’ll be following a plan
Till I see the brightness in every pot and pan
I am sure this point of view will ease the daily grind
So I’ll keep repeating in my mind
Look for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you

With jes’ a sip of gin
I even loves him when his kisses got gin

Life upon the wicked stage ain’t ever what a girl supposes

Everybody whispers, Ain’t her life a world?
