Lyric

The rain is falling, falling down again

I’m longing for the blue, my oldest friend

My heart is leaning back into the shade

Into the shadows that the clouds have made

But I will flip the switch and find the light

I’ll bring a little warmth into the night

I can’t outshine the sun up in the sky

But I won't let my inner fire die

I’ll keep on fighting till the gloom goes by

Let it shine out, let it shine through

Into a smile that’s clear and bright and true

No more shadows, no more cloudy days

I’ll light the world in a thousand different ways

Just let your smile bloom new

Even in the rain, the flowers start to grow

But I still love the blue sky’s golden glow

I hear the birds, they’re singing in the trees

"The rain has stopped," they whisper in the breeze

I want a heart that’s washed and crystal clear

With no more muddy thoughts and no more fear

I want to remember how it used to feel

To have a peace that’s deep and very real

A gentle joy that time can never steal

I’ll call it back, I’ll bring it to the front

The simple happiness for which I hunt

A peaceful smile is all I really want

Let it shine out, let it shine through

Into a smile that’s clear and bright and true

No more shadows, no more cloudy days

I’ll light the world in a thousand different ways

Just let your smile bloom new

Smile for me, smile for you

The rain is gone, the sky is blue

Pure and simple

Clear and bright

Keep the smile alight
