Chasing the Blues

Laughter is the best medicine
               To chase those blues away
                   It's  naturally designed
                To let sunshine come your way

                    When you've had a rough day
                     And nothing seems to go your way
                       Smile.... even though  skies are gray
                     Your laughter will chase those blues away

                     When your nerves begin to fray 
                     And it seems the blues are here to stay
                       Smile..... and let happiness come your way
                     Your laughter will chase those blues away

                         When it starts storming
                        And those  blues begin  forming
                           Take two good laughs  
                       And call me in the morning 
                                                   ~
