Things Are Looking Up

a jolly upbeat song with acoustic guitar lead break

A song about the uplifting effects of love!

words and music by Martin Stirrup 2016

D
I’ve been walking on the shoreline
G D
I’ve been walking down by the riverside
A
With my mind on that fine line
G A
Take a little trip along the river of time

You know I’ve got to find my own way
Never been contented with the way it must be
Maybe it’s just hearsay
But I know there’s something out there waiting for me

G D G D
Sometimes I’m down, sometimes I’m high
G A
But now I feel contented and I wonder why- I’ve
D A
I’ve dispensed with my frown, let it all fly
G D
Keep on looking up to the sky - y - y -y -y
-
I’ve been hanging on a kind word
I’ve been latching on a thought that maybe you were for me
You may say that it’s absurd
But I think it’s coming right for me finally

Instrumental and repeat chorus
I’ve been looking on the bright side
Been developing an optimistic streak
You know I’m here for the long ride
That don’t mean I’m not ready to start this week
