Changing My Tune
Embracing the Bright Side: Changing My Tune with Betty Grable
Lyrics
Yesterday the skies were black and I was blue
Reflecting on a past time of sadness and despair
Yesterday alas, alac I thought I was through
Feeling like the difficult situation was coming to an end
But knock on wood my job looks good
Expressing optimism about the current job prospects
And having found a dwelling
Having secured a place to live
My happiness is beyond the telling
Feeling extremely happy, almost indescribably so
Castles were crumbling and daydreams were tumbling
Experiencing the collapse of dreams and plans
December was battling with June
Symbolic contrast between two different times
But on this bright afternoon
Despite past difficulties, the present moment seems promising
Guess I'll be changing my tune
Deciding to change one's perspective or attitude
Kept on despairing beyond any caring
Continuing to feel hopeless, not caring about the outcome
If I jumped out of a balloon
Metaphorically considering extreme actions due to despair
But I'm arranging from now
Determined to make positive changes from now on
To be changing my tune
Committing to altering one's attitude or approach
At last the skies are bright and shiny
Presenting a positive outlook with bright skies
It's a human world once more
Feeling that life has regained its normalcy
Yesterday's troubles are tiny
Realizing that past troubles were insignificant
What were you worried for?
Questioning the reason for previous worries
Wanted a permit to make me a hermit
Desiring isolation and frustration with life
To grumble and glare at the moon
Expressing discontentment with the current situation
But I'm arranging from now
Intending to make a conscious change for the better
To be changing my tune
Determined to change personal attitudes or behaviors
At last the skies are bright and shiny
Reiterating the positive change in perspective
It's a human world once more
Reaffirming the return to a more positive human experience
Yesterday's troubles are tiny
Emphasizing the insignificance of past troubles
What was I worried for?
Reflecting on the unnecessary nature of past worries
Wanted a permit to make me a hermit
Desiring isolation and frustration with life (repeated sentiment)
To grumble and glare at the moon
Expressing discontentment with the current situation (repeated sentiment)
But I'm arranging from now
Intending to make a conscious change for the better (repeated intent)
To be changing my tune
Committing to altering personal attitudes or behaviors (repeated commitment)
