Sunshine After The Rain
Elkie Brooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 mountain 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 on 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
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
No matter where I look, everything reminds me of you
I see a face we used to know
I see familiar faces that we once knew together
I pass a place we used to go
I go to places we went to together, but now I go alone
When you were mine
When we were together, everything was better
Since you went away
After you left, my life became empty without you
My heart's not free
I can't move on, my heart is still attached to you
It keeps raining down on me
I feel sad and depressed all the time
Will there be a day
I wonder if there will ever be a day when I will be happy again
When the sun will shine
When everything will be bright and beautiful again
I want to see the sunshine after the rain
I hope to find happiness and warmth even after going through hard times
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again
I want to find peace and hope again
Oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end
I hope to find something good after going through something difficult or painful
When I hear your name
Just hearing your name makes me feel sad and brings back painful memories
I start to cry, each day's the same since your goodbye
Every day feels the same, and I can't stop crying since you've left
It's like a game, forgetting you
It's hard to forget you, like it's a game that's impossible to win
Every night I pray
I pray that things will get better and I will find happiness again
Tomorrow brings a sunny day and happy things
I hope that tomorrow things will be better, and I will find joy in life once more
Just like the way it used to be for you and me
I hope to experience the same joy and love we once had together
Oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end
I hope that there is something good waiting for me after all the pain and sorrow

My mother passed away from cancer in 1980 when I was only 7 and Elkie Brooks was her favorite singer. This song always reminds me of her even after all these years. Cheers for posting this quality version.

My mum too! Hodgkins lymphoma…she’s been gone 8 years now. Elkie Brooks never fails to bring her close. As I’m typing I’m walking the dog on Aberdeen beach 🏴 with earphones and your comment was the first one. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
