Stray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if the sun don't shine for you my love
Don't think about it baby, it's alright
And if the trees don't blow in the wind my love
Don't think about it baby-it's alright
And if the stars don't shine in the night my love
Well don't worry baby it's alright
And if the clouds don't move in the sky my love
Don't think about it baby, it's alright
And if nature becomes strange
Our love will never change
We've got this good thing going 'til the end of time
And if the light don't shine in the dark my love
Don't think about it baby, it's alright
And if the wasps don't sting and the bees don't buzz
Don't think it baby it's alright
And if all these things I say don't figure in your head
You know that I'll still love you 'til the end of time

And if the sun don't shine for you my love
If things don't seem to be going your way
Don't think about it baby, it's alright
Don't worry, it'll all work out
And if the trees don't blow in the wind my love
If things don't go the way you expect them to
And if the stars don't shine in the night my love
If things aren't as perfect as they seem
Well don't worry baby it's alright
Just keep moving forward, everything will be fine
And if the clouds don't move in the sky my love
If the world seems to be standing still
And if nature becomes strange
When the world doesn't seem to make sense
Our love will never change
Our love will always be there, no matter what happens in the world
We've got this good thing going 'til the end of time
Our love is strong and will last forever
And if the light don't shine in the dark my love
When things seem dark and hopeless
And if the wasps don't sting and the bees don't buzz
When even the smallest things seem wrong
Don't think it baby it's alright
Don't worry, things will work out in the end
And if all these things I say don't figure in your head
If you don't understand what I'm trying to say
You know that I'll still love you 'til the end of time
But know that I'll always love you, no matter what
