"Sunny Skies"

Sunny Skies sleeps in the morning

He doesn't know when to rise

He closes his weary eyes upon the day

Look at him yawning

Throwing his morning hours away

He knows how to ease down slowly

Everything is fine in the end

And you will be pleased to know

That Sunny Skies hasn't a friend

Sunny Skies weeps in the evening

It doesn't much matter why

I guess he just has to cry from time to time

Everyone's leaving

And Sunny Skies has to stay behind

Still he knows how to ease down slow

Everything is fine in the end

And you will be pleased to know

That Sunny Skies hasn't a friend

Sunny Skies sleeps in the morning

He doesn't know when to rise

He closes his weary eyes upon the day

And throws it all away

Looking at the snow and trees that grow outside my window

Looking at the things that pass me by

Wondering if where I've been is worth the things I've been through

Ending with a friend named Sunny Skies
