I know I'm gonna hear another bluebird singing
How do I know, why the bluebird told me so
It was in a dream, and good news he was bringing
Won't it be grand when sunshine follows the rain
I'll shake the hand of happiness once again
Troubles will fly, bidding all bad luck goodbye
All I've got to do is keep smiling through
