Ewan McGregor - Better Tomorrows Lyrics

(Verse 1)My dear father liked to sayHop to the top of the dayThe drops are easy to swallowMy dear father liked to sayMop your tears and mend your sorrowsTo not drown yourself wishing for better tomorrows(Chorus 1)You want to think brightYou want to think rightA star falling down, down, downDoesn't break the nightYou want to think brightWhatever you doShadows bring you down, down, downDimming all the lightAs you try to climbFor life has a funny way of going round and roundOn a ride it goes one daySide to side one day upside-down down downYou can make it rightWell worth a good fightAnd if some days have downs and lowsOpen your arms to better tomorrows(Verse 2)A floating tune is in thе airThe simple things you care to sharеA trace of light, a flock of sparrowsAnything high, you dare to followOpen your arms to better tomorrowsTomorrows(Chorus 2)You want to think brightYou want to think rightTo let your heart sing, sing, singOn a summer nightYou want to think brightWhatever you doWhen the strings go zing, zing, zingFly high with the bandJust get up and swing(Instrumental break)You can make it rightWell worth a good fightAnd if some days have downs and lowsOpen your arms to better tomorrows(Bridge)Watercolors in MayPainting a purple skyUp, and a line, a riverStrokes on a mandolinPlaying a gentle sighThese are the simple things that matter(Chorus 3)You want to think brightYou want to think rightAnd let your heart sing, sing, singOn a summer nightYou want to think brightWhatever you doTeeny bells go ding, ding, dingLaughing in the windKite on a stringFor life has a funny way of going round and roundOn a ride it goes one daySide to side one day upside-down down downAnd you make it rightAnd your heart is brightSo let the world go how it goesOpen your arms to betterOpen your arms to better tomorrows
