Brite 'n' Sunny Babe
Al Jarreau · Love Songs [2008]
When you get there be bright'n'sunny, babe.
Show the sun inside cloudy weather
Rain and rose true lovers forever.
Let'em know you know, love, and smile 'em
Your best bouquet.
Said show the sun inside cloudy weather
Rain and rose true lovers forever.
When the road gets rough, baby, brim 'em
A brighter day.
Let a little rain on your windowpane
That you can see forever.
Pitter-pattin' there, like a Fred Astaire
Dancin' in sunny and cloudy weather.
Let a little rain clear your windowpane
Bet you can see, girl, forever and ever.
Pocahontas there, feather in your hair
Dancin' to make our kind of weather.
When you get there be brite'n'sunny, babe.
Ah, could you show the sun inside cloudy
Weather, rain and rose true lovers forever.
Show me, show your stuff, lady, takin'
My breath away.
