Lyrics

Brighter days are up ahead
Brighter days, that's what you said
The first time you ever spoke to me
Brighter days are bound to come
Around each corner shines the sun
Just waiting there for both of us to see
Brighter days are what you promised me
Brighter days won't take too long
Brighter days the clouds move on
Then leave a soft warm light that sets us free
Brighter days are bound to come
Around each corner shines a sun
Just waiting there for both of us to see
That promise makes
Every step we take
Lead where the future beams
Sweet fortune cookie to dreams
Brighter days are up ahead
Brighter days, that's what you said
The first time you ever spoke to me
Oh, brighter days are bound to come
Around each corner shines the sun
Just waiting there for both of us to see
Brighter days each filled with fun
Brighter days won't stop at one
'Til a thousand million shadows jump up and flee
Red flea
Brighter days are bound to come
Around each corner shines the sun
Just waiting there for both of us to see
Brighter days are what you promised me
Brighter days are up ahead
Brighter days, that's what you said
The first time you ever spoke to me
Brighter days are bound to come
Around each corner shines the sun
Just waiting there for both of us to see
All brighter days
Yeah, brighter days
Oh, brighter days I was you promised me
Brighter days are up ahead
Brighter days, that's what you said
The first time you ever spoke
