Said one cloud to the next
How nice that we can rain on the ground
It seems they let water
Wash away their pain
So don't fade out
I will lend you my silver lining
I do not need to dress this proud
Said the daughter to her mother
There are days when I go nowhere
But I know how I got here
Thanks for cheering for me all these years
And don't fade out
I will lend you my silver lining
I do not need to dress this proud
And I would like
To lay my riches down, down
Yeah I would like
To lay my riches down, down, down
Said the smile to the tear
You're the reason I am here
You know it's not everyday
That I have the chance to mean it when I say
Don't fade out
I will lend you my silver lining
I do not need to dress this proud
And I would like
To lay my riches down, down
I would like
To lay my riches down, down
I would like
To lay my riches down, down, down
