Brighter Day

When you were a little child You were afraid of the dark at night You headed to your mama's bed With scary monsters in your head When you crawled under her wing Mom would softly start to sing Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day The moon is shining through the clouds at three a.m. Close your eyes and let it all go Tomorrow will be fine again You met a girl your queen of hearts But happiness was a house of cards You found yourself in an empty place Hurt and drunk and deprived of your faith But in deepest gloom An old familiar tune echoed in you Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day The moon is shining through the clouds at three a.m. Close your eyes and let it all go Tomorrow will be fine again (Instrumental) The years fly by on silent wings Narrowing your time and dreams The field is tilled the mortgage paid The kids grow up and graduate But you still feel young And hum along to your mother's song Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day The moon is shining through the clouds at three a.m. Close your eyes and let it all go Tomorrow will be fine again Tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day The moon is shining through the clouds at three am Close your eyes and let it all go Tomorrow will be fine again (Tomorrow will be fine again)
