Life Is Bittersweet

Son, there's some things you ought to know about
Before you grow up into a man
Life don't always work the way you plan it out
But some things will be better than you plan
No, life is certainly not easy, but life is always good
And after all these years I finally figured out
Something that I never understood, oh oh
And that is

When the dark comes, there's always light
After the day, there's always night
You know, the sunshine will dry up the rain
There's always joy, there's always pain
There's victory and defeat
Life is bittersweet

Now I know this song may not seem comforting
But son, don't you get me wrong
Some day this may be the song you sing
And it'll help you get along
When the world around seems lonely
And you want to hide
Don't forget your father up in heaven
And the daddy who is always by your side, oh oh
And that

When the dark comes, there's always light
After the day, there's always night
You know, the sunshine will dry up the rain
There's always joy, there's always pain
There's victory and defeat
Life is Bittersweet

'Cause life's a beautiful disaster
It's a marvelous catastrophe
And you can't wait till things are perfect
To appreciate the gift of every day, oh oh

'Cause life's a beautiful disaster
It's a marvelous catastrophe
And don't you wait till things are perfect
To appreciate the gift of every day
You got to appreciate the gift of every day, oh oh because

When the dark comes, there's always light
After the day, there's always night
You know, the sunshine will dry up the rain
There's always joy, there's always pain

When the dark comes, there's always light
After the day, there's always night
And when that pain knocks you off your feet
I'll lift you up and I'll get your seat
Son, life is bittersweet
