Lyric: Gus Kahn

Verse 1:

Listen, my sisters and brothers,
Speaking of sorrow and pain;
Think of the millions of others
Who have a lot o' more cause to complain;

Chorus:

I've got sorrows,
You got sorrows,
We all got sorrows today.
But each tomorrow
Will find each sorrow
A little farther away.
Some friends grieve us
And some deceive us,
The good friends leave us too soon;
So store some gladness
To mix with sadness,
When this old world's out o' tune.
Rich man, poor man, great man, small,
Have their little troubles, one and all.
But when trouble comes to call,
He don't come to stay.
I got sorrows,
You got sorrows,
We all got sorrows today,
But each tomorrow
Will find each sorrow
A little farther away.

Verse 2:

What if the sun isn't shining,
What's all the worry about?
Clouds have a bright silver lining,
One happy smile turns a cloud inside out;

[Chorus]
