Something To Look Forward To

Something To Look Forward To

Some day the sun will shine.
We'll step out and not get wet.
One day, but not just yet,
the weather will be fine.

That day will be yours and mine.
We'll sunbathe. Joyfully sweat.
Some day the sun will shine.
We'll step out and not get wet.

So don't grumble. Don't whine.
Don't lose hope. Don't fret.
Things will get better. You bet.

Look for an omen. A sign.
Some day the sun will shine.
We'll step out and not get wet.
