Look for the silver lining When'eer the clouds appear in the blue You know that somewhere The sun is shining And so the right thing to do Is make it shine for you A heart full of joy and gladness Will always banish sadness and strife So always look for the silver lining And try to find the sunny side of life
(Kern/deSylva, famously sung by Judy Garland in "Till The Clouds Roll By")
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle For something unfoolish to say That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows And smilingly stole her away
Don't sing love songs you'll wake my mother She's sleeping here right by my side And in her right hand a silver dagger She says that I can't be your bride
Mansions I can wish you Seven footmen, all in red And calling cards upon a silver tray But more I cannot wish you Than to wish you find your love Your own true love this day.
We meet and the angels sing The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard [snip] Suddenly the setting is strange I can see water and moonlight beaming Silver waves that break On some undiscovered shore

Look for the silver lining
When'eer the clouds appear in the blue
You know that somewhere
The sun is shining
And so the right thing to do
Is make it shine for you
A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life

He did the old soft shoe

and I dare not drown my sorrows
in the warm glow of your wine...
