Put aside your sorrows Well here the morning comes Dressed in all her splendor Gifting us the sun Chase after shadows That linger in your mind Sweep out the ashes Leave them far behind Oh Mama I said that's the way it goes Sometimes Oh sweet Mama Come and greet the new sunrise Come and greet the new sunrise I can see you're hurting Life can be so cruel But regrets are nothing but The errands of a fool So put out the candles And let the daylight in Get out of your own way To live is not a sin Oh Mama I said that's the way it goes Sometimes Oh sweet Mama Come and greet the new sunrise Oh Mama I said that's the way it goes Sometimes Oh sweet Mama Come and greet the new sunrise Come and greet the new sunrise
