I've seen brighter
I've known brighter days
Lying with my love in the shade
Of the manzanitas
It's been sweeter
Bitter sweeter days
I know it's not for always
But all I can say is
I've seen better days
Is summer gone?
Has it been that long
I guess that's what seasons will bring
I'm caught again in the autumn wind
But I remember spring
For I've seen brighter days
Seen lighter places to say
Along my way
Oh I've seen brighter days!
Lord, I've seen warmer
Soft and warmer nights
Lying with love by my side
In the sycamores
There've been finer yea,
Ive seen mighty finer nights
Knowing what's wrong or what's right
It just don't matter now there've been warmer nights
But here I am
Like a sea blown wind
Under my thunder and rain
I'll ride the waves
Till the sunny days
Comes for me again
For I've seen brighter days
I've known lighter places to stay
Along the way
Oh I've seen brighter days
