That old despair has come to stay
The one I always chase away
But I won’t be chasing it tonight

You do the best to make it pay

Then watch the chances slip away
There are times when you concede the fight

I know sun keeps shining
I know the clouds must part
I’ve heard all about silver linings
What do I do without hope in my heart

That old despair has come around
I don’t’ know which way’s up but I sure know down
And I don’t know how to make it right

Sometimes it seems there’s now way out
You can kick and cry you can curse and shout
But still the tunnel has no light

Chorus

Look it here that old despair
Has gone and caught me unawares
And I don’t know what to do tonight

Just simply make a cup of tea
Count my blessings one two three
And hope that you will hold me tight

Until that sun starts shining
Until the clouds must part
Until I find some silver lining
Until I find some hope in my heart
Until I find some hope in my heart.
