Lyrics
Series 5 version
- Life is full of surprises, full of ups and downs
- And so to have a silver lining, first there must be cloud...
- Bill and Ben the twins work together all day long
- They sometimes disagree how things are done
- They get down in the dumps
- If things they do don't work out just as planned
- But if at first you don't succeed then understand
- There's no sense in worrying if things start going wrong
- Obstacles can all be overcome
- But even Bill and Ben both agree that in the end
- If you never lose hope, you're sure to cope and carry on
- Every cloud is silver-lined, even when it rains
- So don't get too downhearted, as things are bound to change
- All you've gotta do is wear a smile and you will find
- Your sun will shine...
- So if you've got a job to do, make sure you do it well
- Arguing will get you nowhere fast
- When Bill says "Push," and Ben says "Pull"
- They always get it wrong
- But never lose hope, you're sure to cope and carry on
- Every cloud is silver-lined, even when it rains
- So don't get too downhearted, as things are bound to change
- All you've gotta do is wear a smile and you will find
- Your sun will shine...
- Everybody makes mistakes it happens all the time
- You should never lose sight of your goal
- Just like Bill and Ben things will work out in the end
- If you never lose hope, you're sure to cope and carry on
- When you're feeling down, it doesn't help to wear a frown
- Never lose hope, you're sure to cope and you can carry on
- Every cloud is silver-lined to help you on your way
- As long as there's hope, it'll help you cope
- You must never lose hope, it'll help you on the way...
Storytime with Thomas version
- Every cloud is silver-lined, even when it rains
- So don't get too downhearted, as things are bound to change
- All you've gotta do is wear a smile and you will find
- Your sun will shine...
- Every cloud is silver-lined to help you on your way
- You must never lose hope, it'll help you on the way...
