Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Remember when you first found love, how you felt so good
The kind that'd last forevermore, so you thought it would
Suddenly the things you see got you hurt so bad, so bad
How come the things that make us happy, make us sad?
[Verse 2]
It seem to me that
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
[Verse 3]
Love can bitter, love can be sweet
Sometimes devotion and sometimes deceit
The ones that you care for give you so much pain
Oh, but it's alright
They're both one in the same
[Verse 4]
(Listen)
[Verse 5]
Don't it seem we go through life going up and down?
Seems the things that turn you on turn you around
Always hurting each other, if it ain't one thing it's another
When the world is down on you, love's somewhere around
[Verse 6]
And I want you to know that joy
(Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain)
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain (Do it one more time)
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
[Verse 7]
Over and over
You can be sure
There will be sorrow, but you will endure (You will endure)
Where there's a flower, there's the sun and the rain
Oh, but it's wonderful
They're both one in the same
[Verse 8]
To find a love is a dream come true
That special person who is good to you
Creating the feelings that you cannot hide
That burning sensation deep inside your heart
Beating faster, you know love has to
Grow and flow and although a disaster like
Sunshine might turn into rain
In love there's always joy and pain
[Verse 9]
They say that love makes the world go 'round
Two people together, they can be found
As one on the strength, the length of the love is long
So understand the words of the song
Joy and pain, sunshine and rain
Devotions, emotions can do the same to two people
It's a part of the game of love
And if not, it's all in vain
[Verse 10]
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
