Optimism Blues Songtext
von Helen Reddy

I′ve got those optimism blues
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven′t seen such a grin, since Lord knows when
I've got those optimism blues

I've got those optimism blues
And it′s about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven′t seen such a grin, since Lord knows when (when)
I've got those optimism blues

Time has changed so many things
By running out of this, and too much of that
And time has claimed, so many things
By getting rid of some and, fixin′ another spot
I'm prepared, to accept, whatever faith will turn up
Because, I believe, that there′s a very good reason for everything
That's happenin′


I've got those optimism blues (blues)
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven′t seen such a grin
Since Lord knows when (since Lord knows when)
I′ve got those optimism blues

Time has changed so many things
The West's dampenin′ as the East closes in
Time has changed so many things
They took all the signs off the Southern Arch
But, flowers still grow like before
A few souls lost
Still, you can't hold a good man down
By the river, people getting saved by the dozen

I′ve got those optimism blues
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven′t seen such a grin
Since Lord knows when (since Lord knows when)
I've got those optimism blues

I've got those optimism blues (blues)
And it′s about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven′t seen such a grin, since Lord knows when
I've got those optimism blues


I′ve got those optimism blues (blues)
And it's about to knock me outta my shoes
Haven′t seen such a grin
Since Lord knows when (since Lord knows when)
I've got those optimism blues
