Hope In My Heart

That old despair has come to stay
The one I always chase away
But I won't be chasing it tonight
You do your best to make it pay
Then watch the chances slip away
There are times when you concede the fight

And I know that sun keeps shining
And I know the clouds must part
I've heard all about silver linings
What do I do without hope in my heart?

That old despair has come around
I don't know which way's up
But I sure know down
And I don't know how to make it right
Sometimes, it seems there's no way out
You can kick and cry
You can scream and shout
And still, the tunnel has no light

And I know that sun keeps shining
And I know the clouds must part
I've heard all about silver linings
What do I do without hope in my heart?

Look it here, that old despair
Has gone and caught me unaware
And I don't know what to do tonight
Just simply make a cup of tea
Count my blessings, one, two, three
And hope that you will hold me tight

Until that sun starts shining
Until the clouds must part
Until I find that silver lining
Until I find some hope in my heart
Until I find some hope in my heart
