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
