When the sun comes out And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane When the sun comes out There'll be bluebirds 'round my door Singin' like they did before That old storm broke out And my man walked off and left me in the rain Though he's gone, I doubt If he'll stay away for good I'd stop living if he should Love is funny It's not always peaches, cream and honey Just when everything looked bright and sunny Suddenly the cyclone came I'll never be the same Till that sun comes out And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane If my heart holds out Let it rain and let it pour It may not be long before There's a knockin' at my door Then you'll know the one I love walked in When the sun comes out
