Gracie Fields was a one-of-a-kind talent--showing off both her amazing range and comic gifts in this uplifting number from 1932.
LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
I'm looking on the bright side
Though I'm walking in the shade
Sticking out my chest, hoping for the best
Looking on the bright side of life
I'm waiting for the right tide
And if luck comes to my aid
Giving me a break, I shall be awake
Looking on the bright side of life
Today I'm in the shadow
Tomorrow maybe
The clouds will lift
And let the sun shift over to me
I'm looking on the bright side
Though today's all care and strife
I can wear a grin, sticking out my chin
Looking on the bright side of life
Sometimes grey days make us weary
And nothing seems worthwhile
Though it's difficult just keep cheering
And say with a smile
I'm looking on the bright side
Though I'm walking in the shade
Sticking out my chest, hoping for the best
Looking on the bright side of life
I'm waiting for the right tide
And if luck comes to my aid
Giving me a break, I shall be awake
Looking on the bright side of life
Today I'm in the shadow
Tomorrow maybe
The clouds will lift
And let the sun shift over to me
I'm looking on the bright side
Though today's all care and strife
I can wear a grin, sticking out my chin
Looking on the bright side of life
(Musical Break accompanied by Gracie's "Da-da's")
I'm looking on the bright side
Though today's all care and strife
I can wear a grin, sticking out my chin
Looking on the bright side of life!
