Sun Showers
Billie Holiday · Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]
The sun will shine again through sun showers
In a little while the sky above will smile like luster
That follows your kiss, dark clouds of sorrow
Will soon be a sunny tomorrow
While sun flowers
Raise their happy eyes up to the flaming skies
Then sun showers leave us as they follow
Rainbows in our hearts the gray skies
Soon will be clear my dear while sun showers are here
