The more I roam about,
The more I dream about a rainbow,
Just hoping that a rainbow
Might soon appear.
I'd walk a million miles
To find the kind o' smiles that I know
Would bring a golden rainbow
And skies so clear.

Although I try I really get nowhere,
Sometime I'm hoping that I'll get somewhere!

There must be a silver lining
That's shining for me.
There must be a way of finding
A message of sympathy.

Just a little coo from the bluebird
Would make a new bird right out of me!
There must be a silver lining
That's shining for me.

There must be a silver lining
That's always shining for me.
There must be a way of always finding
A message of sympathy.

Just a little coo from the bluebird
Would make a new bird right out of me, poor little me!
There must be a silver lining
That's always shining for me.
