SUNSHINE

MUSIC & LYRICS BY CAROLINE JONES

Our senses ache and bend

With the worldly winds and ephemeral disasters

We judge each mistake as if

It ruined our one chance for happy ever after

And yeah, it’s easy to dream quite mindlessly

Without conscious regard

But what a noble deed to heed no voice

Except your heart.

There may be gray skies

But when it rains I can feel the sunshine

I feel the sunshine

And that which I feel

I know to be real

The vision I hold when winter’s so cold

I can feel the sunshine

I can feel the sunshine

Figure and fact may state,

May indicate that you have no hope

And door after door may slam straight in your face

But you always know

Not to define success by measurements you did not create

And not to be fooled by rules

That have no bearing on your fate

Just close your eyes and say:

There may be gray skies

But when it rains I can feel the sunshine

I feel the sunshine

And that which I feel

I know to be real

The vision I hold when winter’s so cold

I can feel the sunshine

I can feel the sunshine

Oh and I can feel the sunshine

I can feel the sunshine

I can feel the sunshine
