Mood's Gettin' Lighter

[instrumental] [verse] Snowstorm's got the town shut down, news says won't let up til morn. But here in this little diner the mood's gettin' lighter. [verse] Y'see a woman had just walked in with her pa, and two young'ns. She asked "have you a table fer four?" "Ma'am" I said, "there's always room for more" [verse] How their smiles shined brightly, To be welcomed so politely here in this little diner. Their mood's gettin' lighter. [instrumental] [instrumental] [verse] A lonesome man, ear to his phone desperate to call back home. It was his fifth, maybe sixth try. Before long he wanted to cry. [verse] Sudd'nly a hug from the young miss gave him pause and easiness here in this little diner. His mood's gettin' lighter. (oooh) [instrumental] [verse] A pair o' boys fought each other in front of their exhausted mother. The man told them "look at her." And they saw, and they learned. [verse] They shared their love, their remorse, And set themselves a new course here in this little diner. Her mood's gettin' lighter. [instrumental] [verse] The night was long, the storm strong. But through it all folk were stronger here in this little diner. The mood's gotten lighter. here in this little diner The mood's gotten lighter. [outro] [verse] here in this little diner The mood's gotten lighter. [outro]
