Lyrics

Brighter day lyrics:

Intro:
Yeah, alright! Woo hoo hoo yeah

Verse 1
I'm walking along I got holes in my shoes
My newspaper's just full of bad news
and Girl I promised you a castle one day
But now we fightin' over the bills that we pay

Chorus:
Stop looking ahead with fear girl
'Cause one thing I'm seeing so clear now
We'll make it through and we'll both be stronger
I'm gonna to sing it just a little bit longer (I said)
Through hard times we held to each other
You been more than a friend and a lover
My pocket's empty but my heart is full I'm just your puppet and my strings you pull.
Together girl we"ll make a brighter day!

Verse 2
Was fightin" the Boss man "cause he keep playin' them bad tricks
Now unemployment's hurting our economics
Keep giving me kissin' and all of your huggin' and you'll see
With all that lovin' girl just what a prince I can be!

Chorus

Bridge:

And I'm gonna take you with me, Wherever I go
You're still my angel even when you lose your halo
(you're still my angel baby)
And if they try to bring us down upon our knees
Love will calm our stormy seas...our stormy sea... our stormy seas oh darling please!

Verse 3:
Budget is tight and we got enough just to get by
Girl think of the things we got that money just can't buy!
Well I got some kissin' and I got some squeezin so thrillin' yeah!
When I give you my lovin' now girl make you feel like a million!

Chorus 2x's

We held to each other... more than lovers
Ooo oo oo yeah yeah
Don't look ahead with fear girl
See so clear now Ooo oo oo yeah yeah
We held to each other... more than lovers
my heart is full... my heart is full
Together girl we'll make a brighter day!
