By the Time It Gets Dark

By the Time It Gets Dark - Mary Black

Written by：Sandy Denny

Baby every cloud has a silver lining

Baby every dog really has his day

And it matters to me to see you smiling

Why don't we blow all your cares away

Yesterday is gone and will be forgotten

And today is where every new day starts

Got to be free as the leaves in the autumn

You may be sad but it will never last

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 walking out in the sunshine

Look at all the people out in the street

Hurrying away to a business luncheon

Waiting for a taxi for aching feet

Light up your face baby let's get going

I want to see a change in those weary eyes

We'll have some fun take a boat out rowing

Why on earth should life be so serious

Maybe by the evening we'll be laughing

Just you wait and see

All the changes there'll be

By the time it gets dark

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

Oh by the time it gets dark
