today it rained all day
the clouds covered the sky
with a harsh blanket

it was okay with me
because my soul was covered, too
with a harsh blanket.

but as we were talking
the blanket lifted a little
and as we were talking
the clouds moved a little

I felt the warm sunshine
come through the clouds
caress my skin with its warm rays

and I felt the sunshine of your love
(even though we’re both feeling dark)
come through the clouds in my soul
and it shone down to my toes

I can’t say I know where we’re going
or that I’m sure of much of anything,
but after I smiled at you today, I realized-
I’m sure of one thing

the sunshine of your love
can make even a cloudy day
not so very bad --
and the days when the sun comes out
make up for all of the days when it rains.

I’m sure of another thing:

I love you.
