Song Description

A modern, sassy, upbeat answer to Stephen Foster's "Hard Times Comes Again No More", an appeal for hard times to end and good times/sun to shine--rain rain go away. Read for sun, ready for good times.

Lyrics

SHINE

Let's not invite the weatherman this time
He only gets it right once in a while anyway
I don't want to hear his worry story anymore
Not another drop of rain

Sun my friend you've been away for many moons
Now you alone are always welcome here
And only stars will be allowed
to fall on this house anymore
I am getting clear

(CHORUS)
Don't ask me rain or shine
I won't win that one
No don't ask because the rain it always comes
where I come from
I will always choose the sun

Bring me wine and gold and kisses
and more time beside the fire
Do the shadows have to come
They have had me on the run
in this cold new moon of mine

I know we can't escape the seasons
And I swear they're not to blame
And the winter has its reasons
but it cannot hold me freezing
in its arms another day

CHORUS

(bridge)
The paint is drying on a blue sky
for the first time in a long time
please don't let it wash away

CHORUS
Don't ask me rain or shine
I won't win that one
No don't ask because the rain it always comes
where we come from
I will always choose the sun
No don't ask because the rain it always comes
where I come from
I am asking for the sun
