Night seems darkest just before the dawn,
Just as the daybreak nears.
Soon we'll see a sunny sky,
It's time to dry your tears.

Somewhere the sun is shining,
So, honey, don't you cry!
We'll find a silver lining,
The clouds will soon roll by.

I hear a robin singing
Upon a treetop high.
To you and me he's singing,
"The clouds will soon roll by."

Each little tear and sorrow
Only brings you closer to me.
Just wait until tomorrow,
What a happy day that will be.

Down Lovers Lane together,
We'll wander, you and I.
Goodbye to stormy weather,
The clouds will soon roll by.

(humming)

(scat)

To you and me he's singing,
"The clouds will soon roll by."


Each little tear and sorrow
Only brings you closer to me.
Just wait until tomorrow,
What a happy day that will be.

Down Lovers Lane together,
We'll wander, you and I.
Goodbye to stormy weather,
The clouds will soon roll by.
