Sing A Song 1925

Most all our wordly troubles
are only drifting bubbles,
most all our cares and sorrows
are gone with our tomorrows;
so don't you let them fret you,
or some day they will get you,
when skies are grey
stop work and play
and laugh your cares away:

Just smile and swing along
the while you sing a song
your troubles fade away
when you are gay
if all your cares appear
as dark as night
you'll find it won't be long
with just a song
They'll be all right,
and when you're feeling blue
and so unhappy too
when all the skies are grey
and shadows fall
things are not what they seem
you'll find them just a dream
if you will sing a song
swing along too.

Just smile and swing along
the while you sing a song
your troubles fade away
when you are gay
if all your cares appear
as dark as night
you'll find it won't be long
with just a song
They'll be all right,
and when you're feeling blue
and so unhappy too
when all the skies are grey
and shadows fall
things are not what they seem
you'll find them just a dream
if you will sing a song
swing along too.

Just turn your tears to laughter
and joy will follow after.
If May days you'll remember
you'll soon forget December,
instead of asking pity,
just say you're sitting pretty
Then you will see,
that life will be,
a wond'rous melody:

Just smile and swing along
the while you sing a song
your troubles fade away
when you are gay
if all your cares appear
as dark as night
you'll find it won't be long
with just a song
They'll be all right,
and when you're feeling blue
and so unhappy too
when all the skies are grey
and shadows fall
things are not what they seem
you'll find them just a dream
if you will sing a song
swing along too.

Just smile and swing along
the while you sing a song
your troubles fade away
when you are gay
if all your cares appear
as dark as night
you'll find it won't be long
with just a song
They'll be all right,
and when you're feeling blue
and so unhappy too
when all the skies are grey
and shadows fall
things are not what they seem
you'll find them just a dream
if you will sing a song
swing along too.
