OPENER    Basic

Circle left
Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Allemande left, turn partner right
Allemande left and weave the ring
Why worry
There should be laughter after pain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads star thru, California twirl
Touch 1/4
Scoot back, boys run
Right & left thru, dixie style
Boys trade, boys run
Half sashay and promenade
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads star thru
Square thru 3
Left dosado
Left swing thru, spin the top, left single hinge
Boys run, half sashay
Swing the corner and promenade
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic

Circle left
But baby, please wipe away those bitter tears
Allemande left, turn partner right
Allemande left and weave the ring
Why worry
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
Baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Allemande left, turn partner right
Allemande left and weave the ring
Why worry
There should be laughter after pain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

TAG

Allemande left and swing
Why worry now
Why worry now

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

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

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

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

Why worry now
