Stompin' Tom Connors - Sunshine & Teardrops lyrics

rate me

Sunshine drys up the sidewalks and wipes all my teardrops away

I wheel my wheelchair to the window

And stare at the rain as it falls on the street

I wish in the gloom of my dark little room

That a ray from the sunshine would peep

Because rain drops just like my tears

Won't let me watch the kids play

But sunshine drys up the sidewalks

And wipes all my teardrops away

It's so good to see children like me

Playing games on the street when it's dried

They laugh and have fun

They skip and they run

And they make me feel happy inside

While rain drops just like my tears

Won't let me watch the kids play

But sunshine drys up the sidewalks

And wipes all my teardrops away

Sometimes when I smile at the kids for awhile

They come up to my window to see

My funny wheelchair, and my legs that aren't there

And they often pick flowers for me

Until rain drops just like my tears

Won't let me watch the kids play

But sunshine drys up the sidewalks

And wipes all my teardrops away

Tomorrow I know, I don't want to go

With that lady who comes in the van

She'll take me away, where children won't play

Near my sunshiny window again

And rain drops just like my tears

Won't let me watch the kids play

But sunshine drys up the sidewalks

And wipes all my teardrops away

Sunshine drys up the sidewalks and wipes all my teardrops away.
