Lyrics
for version performed by Stu Weaver on Spent (#129969)
Everybody knows my lover left me They wonder why i do not cry out loud I tell them I don't feel no pain, it's just a little fall of rain My heart feels fine, it's just behind a cloud 'cause everyday brings me a new beginning Every morning is a sweet surprise Though your day with me is done, there's another day waiting to come To catch my heart as it starts to rise CHORUS: You see the sunshine's due to come around the corner Upon his way across that summer sky He don't mind that he's alone, he can shine out on his own I figure as long as the sun keeps shining, so will I Every time that I pull out your picture I might feel a twinge because you're gone But your memory will do, I don't need to wait for you There's a new love waiting right beyond the dawn CHORUS BRIDGE: Even when it's dark, remember The sun is shining somewhere every day You still know it's real, even if you cannot feel it It's never, ever very far away Everyone deserves their share of sunshine If you know what to look for it shines through There's a light on that horizon, for you to keep your weary eyes on And I'm hoping that it shines as bright on you CHORUS+ As long as the sun keeps shining, so will I As long as the sun keeps shining, so will I......so will I

Standing out on the edge of a building Watching the traffic below Drinking a beer and thinking of jumping Not far from ready to go Below me the crowd slowly gathers around Cars with news cameras, too I just can't get out of this pain I'm in I don't know what else to do Sometimes I feel like I'm so uninvited Like something so out of touch They tell me depression runs in the family Well that doesn't help me much The crowd's yelling "jump" over a cop on a bullhorn Making him harder to hear He's saying something about having so much to live for I'm almost through with my beer Squinting my eyes to see through the sunlight The crowd's even bigger now There's no point in wondering what afterlife's like Don't matter anyhow We're already in hell as far as I can tell Just listen to these people scream This feels like a rally in a high school field house I feel like the captain of the team Well here goes the captain of the team Follow the light to the Garden of Eden You stand at the pearly gate St. Peter comes over his hand on my shoulder He's telling me I've gotta wait He says, "You know you can't kill yourself and still get in here, kid but You look like a victim of circumstance So I'm just gonna break every bone in your body And give you another chance." Waking up slowly looking around me Alone in a recovery room But closing my eyes I can see the new sunrise Over acres of flowers in bloom I don't know when it will be but the next time you see me I'll be tappin' to a whole new beat Walking soles into the holes in my shoes Down the sunny side of the street Sunshine
