Lyrics

JOCELYNE'S SONG

So lonesome in that winter
We came to need each other as more than friends
So we took comfort in each other
Now I'm so glad we're on speaking terms again
And I say

Things are getting better
You're looking happier each day
Now I hear you laugh out loud
& I like to think I had some part to play

As you lay your burden down
Learn to lay your burden down

Sky heavy with a sadness
The world a lowered frown
We've both known an inner darkness
That can drag a whole body down

That's why things are getting better
Sorrow is a vulture you've turned into a dove
Your smile it's getting sweeter
And I swear your laughter it rings just like a bell
And I don't know where this joy coming from
But I'm so happy to see you doin' fine fine fine fine
And I like to think I had my part to play
In turning this night into day
In turning this night into day

As you lay your burden down
Learn to lay your burden down
Lay your burden down
Learn to lay your burden down…

So lonesome in that winter
We came to need each other as more than friends
So we took some comfort in each other
Now I'm so glad we're on speaking terms again
And I say

Things are getting better
We’re feeling happier each day
And now when we make each other laugh out loud
I like to think we had our parts to play
I like to think we had our parts to play

As we lay our burden down…
