Walk in the park, go out at night

And hold my loved ones extra tight
G   D
When everything is on the mend
G
I'll even drink with my old friends

D             G
Sing and play my mandolin
    D
We'll make it through this long dark night
G
Darkness fades when faced with light
   D
And everything's gonna be alright

G       D
When life is good again
