Lyrics
Even when its cloudy
With a chance of rain
I know it sounds crazy
But im happy just the same
Who needs an umbrella
Under skies of grey
Just because its cloudy
Dont mean it aint a beaitiful day
Because when you find the one
You'll be falling in love
Everything starts falling in place
An angel from up above
Comes down and scoops you up
And fills your heart in every way
Come what may
Even when its cloudy
With a chance of rain
The sun is still shining
Shining down on my face
Instrumental Bridge
Who needs an umbrella
Under skies of grey
Just because its cloudy
Dont mean it aint a beautiful day
Im happy just the same
Sun shining down on my face
Cloudy with a chance of rain
