Lyrics

I'm gonna take myself a piece of sunshine And paint it all over my sky Be no rain Be no rain I'm gonna take the song from every bird And make 'em sing it just for me, yeah Bird's got something to teach us all About being free, yeah Be no rain Be no rain And I think I'll call it morning From now on Why should I survive on sadness? And tell myself I got to be alone Why should I subscribe to this world's madness? Knowing that I've got to live on Knowing that I've got to live on Knowing that I've got to live on Yeah, I think I'll call it morning From now on I'm gonna take myself a piece of sunshine And paint it all over my sky Be no rain Be no rain I'm gonna take the song from every bird And make them sing it just for me, yeah 'Cause why should I hang my head Why should I let tears fall from my eyes? When I've seen everything there is to see And I know there is no sense in crying I know there ain't no sense in crying Yeah, I think I'll call it morning From now on, yeah I'll call it morning from now on, yeah 'Cause there ain't gonna be no rain Be no rain, be no rain, be no rain From now on, yeah
