Someday the sun won't shine

Then where will we be?

How will we see?

Someday the darkness won't leave

But how can that be?

Someone listen to me

You hear me talk and tell my stories

But, oh, how I try

'Cause in the dark when you're lonely you'll cry

And that's when the sun won't shine

I know where you'll be

I know what you'll see

(Bridge)

Day in, day out

It's all the same

Long days and short stays

The hours I'm awake

Hear me and tell me

It's all OK

Listen and give me the time

I'll tell you no lies

You must realize

That someday you'll turn out a light

That never was on

Had always been gone

Now you might talk of ancient glories

But, oh, how they lie

And in the dark when it's over

You'll cry

Because that's when the sun doesn't shine

You might wonder why

If only you'd try

(Repeat bridge)
