Sunshine and Rain

Sunshine and Rain

by Richard Lawry

Earl Grey in a old blue mug

You smile, say

Howdy, ladybug

Sunshine morning daydream

Flowers bathed

In golden light

You pull down

Your old hat brim

Till your eyes are out of sight

Say, watch the flowers, Baby

They don't choose

Which side is right

I love sunshine

I love the rain

Cold raindrops dancing

On my windowpane

Every bright morning

Every wet day

You must have

Both of them to grow

I love sunshine

I love the rain

Joy and the aching

They all have a place

Hold me through the easy

Through the hard

Both are necessary to grow

We live life in crooked rows

Traveling the road below

You say

Every little heartbreak

Is just weather for the soul

Storm rolls in

The sky turns black

Thunder like a flank attack

But your hand

Finds my heartbeat

Says, this is how

The gardens grow

I love sunshine

I love the rain

Cold raindrops dancing

On my windowpane

Every bright morning

Every wet day

You must have

Both of them to grow

I love sunshine

I love the rain

Joy and the aching

They all have a place

Hold me through the easy

Through the hard

Both are necessary to grow

Let it pour

Let it blaze

We are fields

We are flames

Every tear

Every ray

Writes another

Blessed new day

I love sunshine

I love the rain

Cold raindrops dancing

On my windowpane

Every bright morning

Every wet day

You must have

Both of them to grow

I love sunshine

I love the rain

Joy and the aching

They all have a place

Hold me through the easy

Through the hard

Both are necessary to grow
