A Sip of Sunshine

I hear the rain, as it plays again
 Its old pitta patta song
    And  often time I  find myself
 singing right along

   But there's no sound when snow comes down
      Its song, the sound of silence
  And as each flake upon another falls
     its silent song is crowned
 
     I feel the charm in a sun that's warm
   Its song is light divine
      And often time when butterflies swarm
  I'll  take a sip of sunshine
