Cloudy Skies and Rainy Days

[VERSE 1 | CONTENT | FEMALE | E PIANO | LOW | CLOSE MIC | NATURAL] Everybody's waiting for the sunshine Checking weather apps all day I'm by the window with a coffee Listening to the rain and feeling okay Cars go rolling slowly down the street below Someone hurries by beneath a borrowed coat I don't mind the clouds hanging overhead They're painting quiet pictures in my head [CHORUS | JOYFUL | FEMALE | FULL BAND | MID | WIDE MIX | DREAMY] Cloudy skies and rainy days People wishing them away I just watch the raindrops fall Thinking what a lovely day Cloudy skies and rainy days Nothing more for me to say Everybody's looking for the sun I'm happy with the world this way [VERSE 2 | WARM | FEMALE | GUITAR | LOW | CLOSE MIC | SOULFUL] There's a dog asleep beside the door Dreaming while the afternoon rolls by The kettle starts to sing in the kitchen It knows there's no need to rush tonight Puddles turn the streetlights into little stars Leaves are clapping softly in the yard Funny how the world slows down enough to see All the little things that mean so much to me [CHORUS | JOYFUL | FEMALE | FULL BAND | MID | WIDE MIX | DREAMY] Cloudy skies and rainy days People wishing them away I just watch the raindrops fall Thinking what a lovely day Cloudy skies and rainy days Nothing more for me to say Everybody's looking for the sun I'm happy with the world this way [BRIDGE | REFLECTIVE | FEMALE | PADS | LOW | WIDE MIX | FLOATING] Maybe sunshine gets the headlines Maybe blue skies steal the show But there's something in the rainfall That the busy people never know A little peace upon the window A little music in the trees A little room to hear your heartbeat In the hush between the breeze --- [BUILD] --- [CHORUS | JOYFUL | HARMONIES | FULL BAND | MID | WIDE MIX | KEY CHANGE UP] Cloudy skies and rainy days People wishing them away I just watch the raindrops fall Thinking what a lovely day Cloudy skies and rainy days Nothing more for me to say Everybody's looking for the sun I'm happy with the world this way [OUTRO | PEACEFUL | HARMONIES | PADS | LOW | FAR MIX | FADE] Cloudy skies and rainy days People wishing them away I just watch the raindrops fall Thinking what a lovely day Everybody's looking for the sun I'm happy with the world this way Cloudy skies and rainy days What a lovely day... today...
