WHY WORRY
(Mark Knopfler)


The Everly Brothers - 1986
Dire Straits - 1986
Nana Mouskouri - 1986




Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say


But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey


Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So, why worry now
Why worry now


Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say


But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way


Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So, why worry now
Why worry now
Why worry now
