Sun Ain't Shining

Sun Ain't Shining

(This song is to a fairly fast beat, about one per second or 3/4 second.)

It's overcast, the sun ain't shinin'

Tears don't come, I should be cryin'

Rain or shine

Rain or shine

Sky, could you make up your mind?

I think I've figured out

What depresses me about

These cloudy days

(The world in shades of gray)

That beautiful blue sky

Cotton balls all floating by

All stripped away

(It's really quite a shame)

Oh, look round, I don't see

The backdrop for the trees

Naked and cold

(And gloomy moods get old)

The neighborhood round me

Is lifeless and empty

No hands to hold

(It just happens

Or so I'm told)

It's overcast, the sun ain't shinin'

Laugh or cry, I'm tired of tryin'

Rain or shine

Rain or shine

Heart, could you make up your mind?

I always crack a grin

When the sky comes pouring in

Oh, rain or snow

(Falling down to say hello)

Cause with water on the ground

In sorrow, joy is found

Even when you're low

(It's crazy, yes, I know)

Let the sun break through again

And although I can't pretend

To be okay

(The pain's there anyway)

I have a chance to heal

Open up my heart and feel,

'Least for today

(My Savior loves me

Always)

It's overcast, the sun ain't shinin'

It's not ideal, but I'm not whinin'

Rain or shine

Rain or shine

A bit cold, but I'll be fine

Thanks, Uncle Uly, for the suggestion.  (Really looking forward to putting this one to music.)
