I Surely Will Be Singing

Hard times won’t keep me down
I’ll lift my spirits up
I’ll find another song
That’s gonna fill my cup
As long as I am living
The music will be ringing
As long as I am breathing
I surely will be singing

Like the bird up in the pine
Sitting high up on a limb
Whether anybody’s listening
Doesn’t mean a thing to him
He’s gonna lift his voice
Just for the joy it brings
There’s a song that’s in his heart
He’s gonna give it wings

Hard times won’t keep me down
I’ll lift my spirits up
I’ll find another song
That’s gonna fill my cup
As long as I am living
The music will be ringing
As long as I am breathing
I surely will be singing

As long as I remember
Grandma always hummed a tune
Hanging clothes out on the line
Or sweeping up the living room
It makes the work a little easier
That’s what she used to say
Takes your mind off of your troubles
And helps you through the day

Hard times won’t keep me down
I’ll lift my spirits up
I’ll find another song
That’s gonna fill my cup
As long as I am living
The music will be ringing
As long as I am breathing
I surely will be singing

Hard times won’t keep me down
I’ll lift my spirits up
I’ll find another song
That’s gonna fill my cup
As long as I am living
The music will be ringing
As long as I am breathing
I surely will be singing
