A Day Without Rain
Enya · Only Time: The Collection [2002]
Ever stop and listen?
Ever feel alive
And you've nothing missing?
You don't need a reason,
Let the day go on and on.
Let the rain fall down
Everywhere around you.
Give into it now,
Let the day surround you.
You don't need a reason,
Let the rain go on and on.
What a day, what a day to take to.
What a way, what a way to make it through.
What a day, what a day to take to a wild child.
Only take the time
From the helter skelter.
Every day you find,
Everything's in kilter,
You don't need a reason,
Let the day go on and on.
Every summer sun,
Every winter evening,
Every spring to come,
Every autumn leaving.
You don't need a reason,
Let it all go on and on.
What a day, what a day to take to.
What a way, what a way to make it through.
What a day, what a day to take to a wild child.
