Life's Gonna Turn Around For You

Words and Music by Rozalind MacPhail

Woke up this morning...
Feeling so damn blue
Didn't know quite what to do
Feeling like the world's hanging over my head
Wondering why I even got myself out of bed

And then the phone rings
It's my Mom on the other end
I tell her my story and she listens like a good friend
She says, "Now listen up, I got some good advice for you.
Remember these words when your feeling the blues."

"Don't you worry, Life's gonna turn around for you
I swear, I promise
It always happens when you least expect good news
Life's gonna turn around for you, yeah
Out with the old and in with the new
Life's gonna turn around for you."

And then the phone rings again
It's my very dear girlfriend
She's crying like a baby on the other end
Her boyfriend left her with nothing but a broken heart
and now she's wondering where she's gonna start

and then I said...

"Don't you worry, life's gonna turn around for you
I swear, I promise.
It always happens when you least expect good news
Life's gonna turn around for you, yeah
Out with the old and in with the new
Life's gonna turn around for you."

We always like to give good life advice to those we love
But we hardly apply that advice to our own lives
So remember these words when you're feeling blue
Remember what I am sharing with you...

"Don't you worry, life's gonna turn around for you
I swear, I promise.
It always happens when you least expect good news
Life's gonna turn around for you, yeah
Out with the old and in with the new
Life's gonna turn around for you."
