Dire Straits – Why Worry? Lyrics

Album on Brothers in Arms

Why Worry? Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro: 0:00-1:13]

[Verse 1]
Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby, I’ll wipe away those bitter tears
I’ll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey

[Chorus]
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?

[Instrumental Break: 2:22-2:52]

[Verse 2]
Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn’t hard to say
But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way

[Chorus]
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?

[Instrumental Outro: 4:01-8:32]
