Dolly Parton

[Verse 1]
Now we don't know what heaven looks like
But we've seen enough hell right here and right now
But when the road is the roughest
And the problems are the toughest
Or when the times are the hardest
Or that old sky turns the darkest
You got to keep the faith
Because I believe there's a better day
And those old blues?
Why they're going to just roll right on away
I know they are
Listen to me!

All this blue is not sky and sea
Some of that blue's bound to get on me
But the blues don't come to stay
They'll move away
On a better day!
Troubles and woes, and misery
I am not going to give them the best of me
Lift the shades
Fix my gaze
On a better day!
Clear the way!

[Chorus]
Better days just up ahead
When sorrow is not sleeping in my bed
And people is not messing with my head
There's a better way
There's a brighter day!

[Verse 2]
Oh there's a better day
With clearer sky
Hope and promise on the rise
Oh, the future, well, it's looking bright
On a better day
Look away, look away

Oh… ohohohoho hmmmm
There's a better day!

[Chorus]

Oh all this blue it is not sky and sea
Some of that blue's going to fall on me

[Outro]
Oh, the future's looking bright
There's a better day!
Look away, look away

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
