When you're feeling lonely, lost and let down

Seems like those dark skies are following you around

And life's just one big shade of gray

You wonder if you'll see the light of day



{chorus}

Behind the clouds, the sun is shining

Believe me even though you can't quite make it out

You may not see the silver lining

But there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds



I've heard it said that this too shall pass

Good times or bad times, neither one lasts

But thinking that your luck won't ever change

Is like thinking it won't ever stop once it starts to rain



{chorus}

Behind the clouds, the sun is shining

Believe me even though you can't quite make it out

You may not see the silver lining

But there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds

Yeah, there's a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
