When The Sun Comes Out

Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald

When the sun comes out

And that rain stops beatin'

On my window pane



When the sun comes out

There'll be bluebirds

'Round my door

Singin' like they did before



That ol' storm broke out

And my man walked off

And left me in the rain



Though he's gone I doubt

If he'll stay away for good

I'd stop livin' if he should



Love is funny, it's not always

Peaches, cream and honey

Just when everything looked

Bright and sunny



Suddenly the cyclone came

I'll never be the same

'Til that sun comes out

And the rain stops beatin'

On my window pane



If my heart holds out

Let it rain and let it pour

It may not be long before

There's a knockin' at my door



Then you'll know

The one I love walked in

When the sun comes out



Love is funny, it's not always

Peaches, cream and honey

Just when everything looked

Bright and sunny



Suddenly the cyclone came

I'll never be the same

'Til that sun comes out

And the rain stops beatin'

Beatin' on my window pane



If my heart holds out

Let it rain and let it pour

It may not be long before

There's a knockin' at my door



Then you'll know

The one I love walked in

When the sun comes out
