I know it doesn't seem that way 

But maybe it's the perfect day 

Even though the bills are piling 

And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling 





But if we'd only open our eyes 

We'd see the blessings in disguise 

That all the rain clouds are fountains 

Though our troubles seem like mountains 





There's gold in them hills 

There's gold in them hills 

So don't lose heart 

Give the day a chance to start 





Every now and then life says 

Where do you think you're going so fast 

We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes 

It's a case of cruel to be kind 





And if we'd get up off our knees

Well then we'd see the forest for the trees

And we'd see the new sun rising

Over the hills and horizon





There's gold in them hills 

There's gold in them hills 

So don't lose faith 

Give the world a chance to say... 





A word or two, my friend 

There's no telling how the day might end 

And we'll never know until we see 

That there's gold in them hills 





There's gold in them hills

So don't lose heart

Give the day a chance to start

There's gold in them hills...

There's gold in them hills...
