Sunshine used to be my friend (composer Don Graham) |
LyricsSUNSHINE USED TO BE MY FRIENDVerse 1 I've tasted rain in summer & I faced the winter wind Felt myself go under - but I've come back up again It seems to me there has to be a way to turn the tide I wish that you could see - I was only being me I wish that you could see - I just wanted to be free Chorus Sunshine used to be my friend - we used to laugh at signs of rain Now sunshine's been replaced - by a cold and bitter wind And I guess that things won't ever be the same Verse 2 Now the days are getting shorter - and I'm running out of time Got to move a little faster - so I won't be left behind And it seems to me there has to be a way to turn the tide I wish that you could see - I'm still here - remember me I wish that you could see - I won't be leaving quietly Last chorus Sunshine used to be my friend - we used to laugh at signs of rain Now sunshine's been replaced - by a cold and bitter wind And I guess that things won't ever be - I guess that things won't ever be I know that things won't ever be the same Words & music: Don Graham ~ produced & arranged by: Francine Jarry |
| Story Behind the Song: This song (one of my favourite Don Graham songs - my ex partner from the 70's)) goes back to our country rock band of the that time - 'Graham County' ~ here it is as a new and very simple arrangement with guitar, piano and vocals ~ hope you like it ~ perfect for this time in my life ~ Also the song I chose for my audition for the Production & Sound Engineering Program at Fanshawe College in 1988 ~ |
