Southern star, things are slow
 You're watching all these speeding cars, moving like you wish you could
 But oh, it's too bad
 'Cos they drove away your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
 And I'm gonna find a way that is right
 And I'm gonna get you into the light
 And make it okay

And sad eyes you are the only one whose
 Whose blue skies are gray
 So don't cry you'll be the only one
 To make them go away

You're so young and so bored
 You are staying now till late 'cos he was what your husband hated
 But oh, it's too bad
 'Cos he has stolen now all your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
 And I'm gonna find a way that is right
 And I'm gonna get you into the light
 And make it okay

And sad eyes you are the only one whose
 Whose blue skies are gray
 So don't cry you'll be the only one
 To make them go away
 Yeah you could make them go away

It took a lot of tears, but oh, you had to find those
 Sympathetic years the ones you left behind him
 It took a lot of tears, but oh, you had to find those
 Sympathetic years the ones you left behind him

I'm gonna get you into the light
 And I'm gonna find a way that is right
 And I'm gonna get you into the light
 And make it okay

And sad eyes you are the only one whose
 Whose blue skies are gray
 So don't cry you'll be the only one
 To make them go away, yeah

Sad eyes you are the only one whose
 Whose blue skies are gray
 So don't cry you'll be the only one
 To make them go away
 Things are gonna go away
 Yeah they're gonna go your way
 All about to go your way
