Everywhere I go I see a face we used to know I pass a place we used to go When you were mine Since you went away My heart's not free It keeps raining down on me Will there be a day When the sun will shine I want to see the sunshine after the rain I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again Sunshine after the rain Oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end When I hear your name I start to cry, each day's the same since your goodbye It's like a game, forgetting you Every night I pray Tomorrow brings a sunny day and happy things Just like the way it used to be for you and me I want to see the sunshine after the rain I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again Sunshine after the rain Oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end Everywhere I go I see a face we used to know I pass a place we used to go When you were mine Since you went away Since you went away My heart's not free It keeps raining down on me Will there be a day when the sun will shine I want to see the sunshine after the rain I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again Sunshine after the rain Oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end I want to see the sunshine after the rain I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again Sunshine after the rain Oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end
