The Ups And Downs (song lyrics)

1st Verse

Uprising sun; surprising you;
turning a grey sky into blue.
You never know; never know when
the sun will show its face again.

I’ve got some debts and bills to pay
but I won’t let them spoil my day.
I will survive; I always do;
think positive and I’ll get through.

Chorus:

Oh dear, the ups and downs of life;
the trouble and strife
but it’s a good life.

Oh dear, the ups and downs of life;
the trouble and strife
but it’s a good life.

2nd Verse

I’m feeling lonely on my own;
no lover calling on my phone.
Better get out and look about.
I’ll find someone. There is no doubt.

I’m turning grey; I’m getting old.
Winter’s coming. It’s getting cold.
No time for worry or regret.
I’ll have some fun til the sun sets.

Chorus

Oh dear, the ups and downs of life;
the trouble and strife
but it’s a good life.

Oh dear, the ups and downs of life;
the trouble and strife
but it’s a good life.

3rd Verse

Yesterday; I just cried and cried;
I contemplated suicide
but then I slept and when I woke
I felt my heart filled with new hope.

So many people just like me
feeling low from life’s misery
but if you can withstand the rain
you’ll see the sun come out again.

Chorus

Oh dear, the ups and downs of life;
the trouble and strife
but it’s a good life.

Oh dear, the ups and downs of life;
the trouble and strife
but it’s a good life.
