Yo La Tengo: "By The Time It Gets Dark" Lyrics

Baby, every cloud has a silver lining

Baby, every dog really has its day

And it matters to me to see you smiling

Why don’t we blow all your cares away?

Yesterday’s gone and will be forgotten

And today is where every new day starts

Got to be free like the leaves in Autumn

You may be sad but it never lasts

And maybe, by the evening we’ll be laughing

Just wait and see all the changes there’ll be

By the time it gets dark

We could go out walking out in the sunshine

Look at all the people out in the street

Hurrying away to their business functions

Waiting for a taxi for aching feet

Light up your face, baby

Let’s get going

Wanna see a change in those weary eyes

We’ll have some fun

Take a boat out rowing

Why ever should life so serious?

And maybe, by the evening we’ll be laughing

Just wait and see all the changes there’ll be

By the time it gets dark

And maybe, by the evening we’ll be laughing

Just wait and see all the changes there’ll be

By the time it gets dark

By the time it gets dark

By the time it gets dark

By the time it gets dark…
