Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down
You can rise above it
Don't be sad 'cause you're on your own
You have to learn to love it oh no

Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down
You're gonna find your way yeah yeah
Don't be sad 'cause your day is done
There's another day, everyday

Everyday I wake up just the same
Waiting for something new
Every night I have myself to blame
For the dreams that haven't come true
Especially today I'm feeling blue

Don't be sad 'cause your son is down
Little mama he's bound to feel it
Don't be sad 'cause your boy is blue
It wouldn't do to conceal it from you oh no

Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down
The night doesn't need your sorrow
Don't be sad 'cause the light is gone
Just keep your mind on tomorrow and carry on

Everyday I wake up just the same
Waiting for something new
Every night I find myself to blame
For the dreams that haven't come true
But especially today I'm feeling blue, feeling blue whoa
