Making Light

Written by Barry Coffing/Julius Robinson/Marc Huganberger

Funny how the day can go so wrong
The car won’t start and the money’s all gone
But I can’t sit and cry over some guy
Who wined me and dined me “til it all went awry

Funny how the night keeps leading me on
The sun goes down but the stars are all gone
The world is on the fritz and my head, it pounds
But I’m putting on the Ritz and I’m hitting the town

I’m making light of the dark
Making light of my tears
Making light of my heart
Gotta joke you can hear
Cause if I don’t laugh I’d have to cry
So I’m making light

Funny how your life keeps rolling on
They break your heart but you just sing along
You gotta learn to smile or you wither away
If they hurt you, desert you, just celebrate

Making light of the dark
Making light of my tears
I’m making light of my heart
Gotta joke you can hear
Cause if I don’t laugh I’d have to cry
So I’m making light

Got all dressed up
For him tonight
But I won’t be going out of my mind
Gonna be the girl who brightens up the room
Gonna grab the moon right out of the sky
And be the one who’s making light tonight
