Count Your Blessings

(album: Elan - 1978)

Try to forget
Try to get it off your mind
You ain't seen nothing yet you ain't had time
I know it's hard when love lets you down
But the pieces of your heart will pull you 'round

You don't have to talk about it
You don't have to cry
Baby, you can live without it
Think about tomorrow let your bygones go on by

And you'll be alright
When your laughter reappears
And you learn to count your blessings
Not your tears

Was it so bad that you feel you can't go on
Is money all you had to get along
But you did alright
Saw the world in your own time
Now you gotta taste the water with the wine

I don't wanna hear about it
I don't want to know
Buddy, you can live without it
Think about the future and the past will let you go

And you'll be alright
When your laughter reappears
And you learn to count your blessings
Not your tears

But I don't want to talk about it
And you don't want to know
Maybe I can live without it
I'm just getting strong enough
To let the memories go

Oh, but I'll be alright (alright)
When my laughter reappears
And I learn to count my blessings
Not my tears

I'll be alright
