Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunny Skies sleeps in the mornin'
He doesn't know when to rise
He closes his weary eyes upon the day
Look at him yawnin'
Throwin' his mornin' hours away
[Verse 2]
He knows how to ease down slowly
Everything is fine in the end
And you will be pleased to know
That Sunny Skies hasn't a friend
[Verse 3]
Sunny Skies weeps in the evenin'
It doesn't much matter why
I guess he just has to cry from time to time
Everyone's leavin'
And Sunny Skies has to stay behind
[Verse 4]
Still he knows how to ease down slow, oh no
Everything is fine in the end
And you will be pleased to know
That Sunny Skies hasn't a friend
[Verse 5]
Sunny Skies sleeps in the mornin'
He doesn't know when to rise
Closes his weary eyes upon the day
And throws it all away
[Verse 6]
Lookin' at the snow and trees, that grow outside my window
Lookin' at the things that pass me by
Wondering if where I've been Is worth the things I've been through
Endin' with a friend named Sunny Skies
