Sunshine, Sunshine Tom Rush

Sounds of laughter, here comes sunshine
Smiling faces all around
They possess you, bless you, sunshine
Now you can never let them down
I say sunshine

Sunshine, sunshine, is that a cloud across your smile
Or did you dream again last night?
It's best you rest inside a while
As blue doesn't seem to suit you right

Things ain't what they used to be
I say pain and rain, misery
Illness in the family
And sunshine means a lot to me
I say sunshine

But could it be sunshine is drifting with midnight
And lonely when everyone's gone?
Blue crystal spirits and gardens in moonlight
Leave weak, alone and bleak, all quiet and grey by dawn

Sunshine, sunshine rising too late to chase the cold
And failing to change the frost to dew
She's trading her mood of yellow gold
For frostbitten shades of silver-blue
