When the night lies so still
   Before I go to sleep
   I come by, I come by
   Just to look at you
   In the dim light I say
   That in my own small way
   I will try, I will try
   To help you through
  
   There'll be blue skies falling
   There'll be sad scenes and bad dreams
   In a world so uncertain
   Through the clouds it's hard to see
   I will grab you and lift you
   As you hold on tight and sway
   We'll go walking
   Across the fields of gray
  
   There's a place I can go
   When the world gets me down
   When nothing, when nothing
   Goes quite right it seems
   As I look there I know
   Fortune smiles on me so
   But who knows, no one knows
   About tomorrow
  
   There'll be blue skies falling
   There'll be sad scenes and bad dreams
   In a world so uncertain
   Through the clouds it's hard to see
   I will grab you and lift you
   As you hold on tight and sway
   We'll go walking
   Across the fields of gray
  
   When I was younger I saw things in black and white
   Now all I see is a sad, hazy gray
   Sometimes I see a narrow flash of light
   Sometimes I look and you show me the way
  
   No matter what else happens
   What the future will be
   In a world so uncertain
   Through the clouds it's hard to see
   I will grab you and carry you
   Calm your fears if you're afraid
   We'll go walking
   Across the fields of gray
