Why Worry
Nana Mouskouri · Singles Plus [2002]
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into gray
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now, why worry now, why worry now
Baby, when I get down, I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby, just when this world
Seems mean and cold
Our love come shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now, why worry now
Why worry now, why worry now
Why worry,why worry
Why worry now
