When I look out the window, I see rain, rain, rain
When I look out the window, I see rain, rain, rain
Please, please sun won’t you come out again?
’Cause when I look out the window, I see rain, rain, rain.
When I look out the window, I see snow, snow, snow,
When I look out the window, I see snow, snow, snow,
Please, please sun won’t you come out again?
’Cause when I look out the window, I see rain, rain, rain.
When I look out the window, I see wind, wind, wind,
When I look out the window, I see rain, rain, rain
Please, please sun won’t you come out again?
’Cause when I look out the window, I see rain, rain, rain.
When I look out the window, I hear thunderstorms,
When I look out the window, I hear thunderstorms,
Please, please sun won’t you come out again?
’Cause when I look out the window, I hear thunderstorms.
When I look out the window, I see sun, sun, sun
When I look out the window, I see sun, sun, sun.
Thank you sun for coming out again
’Cause when I look out the window, I see sun, sun, sun.
