Verse 1:
Overshadowed
Under clouds
Sun is beating
I know how,
to be free
from everything
Chase away bad dreams

Sun and sand
Salt and spray
Be alive
Be awake
Don’t have fears
No worrying
Chase away bad dreams (Build to Chorus)

Chorus:
Every chance you have
Every move you make
Make the happy last
Don’t watch and wait

The future is
a great unknown
Your life is all
you’ll ever know

Be happy now
and forever
Don’t let it get you down
I promise (slow)
You’ll feel better,
Better,
Better,

Verse 2:
In those lazy
cloudless days,
When moons are waning
and stars all break
Keep me hidden
Keep me warm
Chase away the bad dreams

Rolling hills
and windy grass
Drink your fill
of happiness
Bathe in sun
And bathe in love
Chase away the bad dreams (Build to Chorus)

Chorus:
Every chance you have
Every move you make
Make the happy last
Don’t watch and wait

The future is
a great unknown
Your life is all
you’ll ever know

Be happy now
and forever
Don’t let it get you down
I promise (slow)
You’ll feel better,
Better,
Better,

Bridge:
Let paradise
Fill your mind
Down the River
Down the stream
Chase right after
Those good dreams
About a place far, far from ours
The place that you’d want to be

Chorus:
Every chance you have
Every move you make
Make the happy last
Don’t watch and wait

The future is
a great unknown
Your life is all
you’ll ever know

Be happy now
and forever

Oh be happy now
And forever
Don’t let it get you down
I promise (slow)
Yes, I promise
You’ll feel better,
Better,
Better,

Just a positive, fun upbeat song, that you can imagine being sung and played with a ukelele. Think about how we all need to look for the good side, in the present and always, because we never know how long that life will last.
