ALWAYS ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1999


You are like a wish come true I'm counting on you
Through two shipwrecked eyes I've come to see
Everything I had to give has been given to you
Baby that's the way it all should be.

Always on the bright side
Keeps it kinda light
That girl gets friendlier each day.

Love alone will keep me breathing all through the night
In that quiet place where dreams abide
You and I together are a bit of all right
Feeling good is how we wish to be.

Always on the bright side
Always out of sight
Nesting like two eagles in the trees.

(bridge)

Always on the bright side
Keeps it kinda light
That girl gets friendlier each day.

Always on the bright side
Always out of sight
Nesting like two eagles in the trees.
