Bleak Sunshine

Smile, Sunshine,
Smile, Darlin’,
Smile when the world dies around you,
Sunshine in the stormy night,
Your smile through the clouds,
Dark times,
Smile through the haze,
Bite down on the dowel so you don’t break your teeth,
Smile, through the day, Bleak Sunshine,
Smile, through the night, Darlin’ Sweet thing,
You smile and glow, but it kills you, you know,
The summer may never come again,
So Sunshine with your iron core
Smile and cry, smile and cry,

Sunshine, my only Sunshine,
You make me happy, when skies are gray,
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you,
So please don’t take my Sunshine away….
