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
I would like to lay my riches down, down

Said the smile to the tear,
You’re the reason I am here
You know it’s not every day
That I have the chance to mean it
When I say

Don’t, don’t fade out
I know 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
