Tidy Tune #194: Better Things - The Kinks

 Have to say that this song is just amazing. I heard The Bouncing Souls version of this last night and at first didn't realise that it was a cover version. What better way to start the day than to go back to the source, The Kinks,  to enjoy this incredibly positive song.

Better Things

Here is wishing you the bluest skies
Hoping something better comes tomorrow
Hoping all the verses rhyme
The very best of choruses too

Follow all the doubt and sadness
I know that better things are on their way

Here is hoping all the days ahead
Wont be as bitter as the ones behind you
Be an optimist instead
And somehow happiness will find you

Forget what happened yesterday
I know that better things are on their way

Its really good to see you rocking out and having fun
Living like you've just begun
Accept your life and what it brings
I hope tomorrow you find better things
I know tomorrow youll find better things

Here is wishing you the bluest skies
Hoping something better comes tomorrow
Hoping all the verses rhyme
The very best of choruses too

Follow all the doubt and sadness
I know that better things are on their way

Its really good to see you rocking out and having fun
Living like you've just begun
Accept your life and what it brings
I hope tomorrow you find better things
I know tomorrow youll find better things
I know tomorrow youll find better things

Forget what happened yesterday
I know that better things are on their way

I know you got a lot of good things happening up ahead
The past is gone, its all been said
So heres to what the future brings
I hope tomorrow youll find better things
I hope tomorrow youll find better things
I hope tomorrow youll find better things
I hope tomorrow youll find better things
I know tomorrow youll find better things
