As sung by Judy Garland
As I wash my dishes, I'll be following a plan,
Till I see the brightness in ev'ry pot and pan
I am sure this point of view will ease the daily grind,
So I'll keep repeating in my mind
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere, the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you
A heart, full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life

As originally written by Jerome Kern,
Introduced by Marilyn Miller and Irving Fisher in the musical, Sally, 1920
and performed by Marilyn Miller in the film Sally, 1930:

Boy:
Please don't be offended if I preach to you a while,
Tears are out of place in eyes that were meant to smile
There's a way to make your very biggest troubles small,
Here's the happy secret of it all
Refrain:
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere, the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you
A heart, full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
Girl:
As I wash my dishes, I'll be following your plan,
Till I see the brightness in ev'ry pot and pan
I am sure your point of view will ease the daily grind,
So I'll keep repeating in my mind
Refrain:
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere, the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you
A heart, full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
