Back In Your Own Back Yard

We leave home expecting to find a blue bird

Hoping ev'ry cloud will be silver lined

But we all return as we live wo learn

That we left our happiness behind

When they sing you Look for the Silver Lining

It is silver dollars they're looking for

You will find my friend that the rainbow's end

Is somewhere around your kitchen door

The bird with feathers of blue is waiting for you

Back in your own back yard

You'll see your castle in Spain through your window pane

Back in your own back yard

Oh you can go to the East go to the West

But someday you'll come weary at heart back where you started from

You'll find your happiness lies right under your eyes

Back in your own backyard
