Why Worry
Chet Atkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?
Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
And, no, it isn't hard to say
But, baby, just when this world
Seems mean and cold
Our love comes 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?
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry, now?
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? Why worry, now?
Why worry? Why worry, now?
Why worry? Why worry, now?

Chet Atkins's song Why Worry is an uplifting piece that tells of the reassurance and comfort we find in our loved ones during times of trouble. The first verse addresses the sadness and pain that can be caused by other people's words and actions. However, the second verse shows that through a strong and loving relationship, we can find solace and make sense of our actions. The chorus repeats the message that there is always light at the end of the tunnel: that after every bout of pain, there is laughter, and after every storm, there is sunshine.
At a deeper level, the song reminds us not to worry about things that are beyond our control. The lyrics emphasize the cyclical nature of life, and how things will always balance themselves out. It suggests that we should focus on what we can do in the present moment to make the most of the good times and to remain steadfast during the hard times. By reminding us that our love can help to overcome the hardships of life, Chet Atkins's Why Worry is a warm and comforting song that uplifts the spirit.
