By The Time It Gets Dark Lyrics - Sandy Denny

Baby, every cloud has a silver lining 

Baby every dog really has his day 

And it matters to me to see you smiling 

Why don't we blow all your cares away ? 

Yesterday is gone and will be forgotten 

And today is where every new day starts 

Got to be free as the leaves in Autumn 

You may be sad but it never lasts. 

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing 

Just wait and see 

All the changes there'll be 

By the time it gets dark. 

We could go walking out in the sunshine 

Look at all the people out in the street 

Hurrying away to a business luncheon 

Waiting for a taxi for aching feet. 

Light up your face, baby, let's get going 

Want to see a change in those weary eyes 

We'll have some fun, take a boat out rowing 

Why on earth should life be so serious? 

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing 

Just wait and see 

All the changes there'll be 

By the time it gets dark.
