It's rainin' but there ain't a cloud in the sky Musta been a tear from your eye Everything'll be okay Funny thought I felt a sweet summer breeze Musta been you sighin' so deep Don't worry we're gonna find a way I'm waitin', waitin' on a sunny day Gonna chase the clouds away I'm waitin' on a sunny day Without you I'm workin' with the rain fallin' down I'm half a party in a one dog town I need you to chase the blues away Without you I'm a drummer girl that can't keep a beat An ice cream truck on a deserted street I hope that you're coming to stay I'm waitin', waitin' on a sunny day Gonna chase the clouds away Waitin' on a sunny day Hard times baby, well they come to tell us all Sure as the tickin' of the clock on the wall Sure as the turnin' of the night into day Your smile girl, brings the mornin' light to my eyes Lifts away the blues when I rise I hope that you're coming to stay I'm waitin', waitin' on a sunny day Gonna chase the clouds away Waitin' on a sunny day
