Sunshine After The Rain
Berri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everywhere I go
I see a face we used to know
I pass a place we used to go
when you were mine
since you went away
my heart's not free
it keeps raining down on me
will there be a day
when the sun will shine
I want to see the sunshine after the rain
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again
sunshine after the rain
oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end
when I hear your name
I start to cry, each day's the same since your goodbye
it's like a game, forgetting you
every night I pray
tomorrow brings a sunny day and happy things
just like the way it used to be for you and me
I want to see the sunshine after the rain
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again
sunshine after the rain
oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end
everywhere I go
I see a face we used to know
I pass a place we used to go
when you were mine
since you went away
since you went away
my heart's not free
it keeps raining down on me
will there be a day when the sun will shine
I want to see the sunshine after the rain
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again
sunshine after the rain
oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end
I want to see the sunshine after the rain
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again




sunshine after the rain
oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end

I went to college with Rebecca Sleight aka Berri. She was lovely and actualky has a really good vocal range. She had an excellent jazz style quality to her voice in a lower pitch. I hope she's happy wherever she is....
