You know that our love affair is a bit like the rainbow
Unpredictable, still it's one of nature's greatest shows
Soon come fall, it's the best excuse for doing nothing at all
There's people and there's sunshine, it's a perfect day for wasting time

Looking at the sky
Hearing sound of guitars
Looking at the sky
Hearing sound of guitars

You should know the beauty of life, is the beauty of falling in love
Still sometimes the future seems too hard to swallow
And you know there's an ocean of time, starting tomorrow
There's people and there's sunshine, it's a perfect day for wasting time

Looking at the sky
Hearing sound of guitars
Looking at the sky
Hearing sound of guitars

Looking at the sky
Hearing sound of guitars
Looking at the sky
Hearing sound of guitars

Looking at the sky
Looking at the sky

Looking at the sky
Hearing sound of guitars




Looking at the sky
Hearing sound of guitars
