Bright Side

I was looking for a bright side mama
 Ever since about the day I was born
 Always heading for the bright light
 Wondering what it might have in store
 Through the dark of the dead end roads
 And the people who are not what they seem
 Left my self alone again with me
 I was looking for a bright side mama
 When you took me and set me down slow
 You calm my nerves, ease my mind
 And then you hit me with the heat
 And show me what show me what the real thing is
 Bright lights are blinding
 And I need reminding
 That my life shines brightest when I see the bright side of you
 I was looking for a way out of the maze and those crazy days
 Hung around long enough to be proud of the shade
 Without changing my ways
 I'm a champion, a prize fight lover
 And I'm covered up in wounds from the war
 But I'm yours if you want me I'm yours
 I was looking for a bright side mama
 When you took me and set me down slow
 You calm my nerves, ease my mind
 And then you hit me with the heat
 And show me what the real thing is
 Bright lights are blinding
 And I need reminding
 That my life shines brightest when I see the bright side of you
 The bright side of you
 Your eyes get blinded
 Trying too hard to find it
 And I get excited
 When I see the bright side
 See the bright side of you
 When I see the bright side of you
 The bright side of you
