about
What started as a recounting of an actual afternoon in Dublin, Ireland became an anthem of hope with the assistance of my family (my son on drum track, my daughter on backing vocals, my father on bass, and my brothers, mother and father in the chorus). They say if you don't like the weather in Ireland just wait 5 minutes and it's true; it's the same in life. Rock and roll!
lyrics
Sometimes there's nothing better than writing a song
On a cloudy afternoon, and the clouds seem to sing along
And sometimes it feels like I'm writing a letter to my love
And the words come tripping right off my tongue
Sometimes we make look it easy. Sometimes, it's hard.
Sometimes clouds turn to sunshine, while I'm singing in my backyard...
Sometimes there's nothing better than being alone
on a sunny afternoon with a cool breeze blowin'
But mostly i feel like getting together with my love
In this crazy world, she keeps me going
Sometimes we make look it easy. Sometimes, it's hard.
Sometimes clouds turn to sunshine, while I'm singing in my backyard...
On a cloudy afternoon, and the clouds seem to sing along
And sometimes it feels like I'm writing a letter to my love
And the words come tripping right off my tongue
Sometimes we make look it easy. Sometimes, it's hard.
Sometimes clouds turn to sunshine, while I'm singing in my backyard...
Sometimes there's nothing better than being alone
on a sunny afternoon with a cool breeze blowin'
But mostly i feel like getting together with my love
In this crazy world, she keeps me going
Sometimes we make look it easy. Sometimes, it's hard.
Sometimes clouds turn to sunshine, while I'm singing in my backyard...
