Look for the Silver Lining by Chet Baker Song Info
"Look for the Silver Lining” is a popular song with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by B.G. DeSylva. It was written in 1919 for the unsuccessful musical Zip, Goes a Million. In 1920 it was published and reused in the musical Sally whence it was popularized by Marilyn Miller. Among others, the song was later covered several times by Judy Garland, whose version also became, and remains, well-known. When taken into context with the rest of the album, full of heartbreak and melancholy, it almost seems like the sun has come back to us, telling us to look for the silver lining in a rainy album.
