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 and 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

"Makes the work a little easier," that's what she used to say

"Takes your mind up off of your troubles and it 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

As long as I am breathing, I surely will be singing
