Bless You (For the Good That’s in You)

[Vocals: Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé, both, The Mellomen]

[Intro]
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh...

[Verse 1]
Bless you for the good that’s in you, bless you every day
There’s some good in everybody, we’re just made that way
Good morning, oh miserable, you’re not as bad as you make out
That frown don’t set right, get right up and shout (yes, shout)
Bless you for the good that’s in you, bless you every night
If you shine like a love light beacon, you’ll make out all right
Now, if any old evil comes around today
Just turn it right around and chase it away
Bless you for the good that’s in you, bless you every day (yes, yes)

[Verse 2]
You know that life is like an old steam engine
You can either go ahead, or in reverse
Now, the road ahead may look pretty rocky
But the road behind is bound to be worse
If you close your eyes, you won’t see the sunshine
If you plug your ears, you won’t hear a thing
And if you shut your heart, you’ll shut out the feeling
And there’ll never be any reason to sing
(Bless you) yes, bless you (yes, bless you) yes, bless you

[Verse 3]
Ooh, that frown don’t set right, get right up and shout
Oh, bless you for the good that’s in you, bless you every night
If you shine like a love light beacon, you’ll make out all right
If any old evil comes around today
Turn it right around and chase it away
Bless you for the good that’s in you (yes, bless you)
Bless you every day
Bless you (mmm, bless you); yes, bless you (oh, bless you)
Bless you for the good that’s in you, bless you every day
