Sunshine used to be my friend (composer Don Graham)
Lyrics
SUNSHINE USED TO BE MY FRIEND
Verse 1
I've tasted rain in summer & I faced the winter wind
Felt myself go under - but I've come back up again
It seems to me there has to be a way to turn the tide
I wish that you could see - I was only being me
I wish that you could see - I just wanted to be free
Chorus
Sunshine used to be my friend - we used to laugh at signs of rain
Now sunshine's been replaced - by a cold and bitter wind
And I guess that things won't ever be the same
Verse 2
Now the days are getting shorter - and I'm running out of time
Got to move a little faster - so I won't be left behind
And it seems to me there has to be a way to turn the tide
I wish that you could see - I'm still here - remember me
I wish that you could see - I won't be leaving quietly
Last chorus
Sunshine used to be my friend - we used to laugh at signs of rain
Now sunshine's been replaced - by a cold and bitter wind
And I guess that things won't ever be - I guess that things won't ever be
I know that things won't ever be the same

Story Behind the Song:
This song (one of my favourite Don Graham songs - my ex partner from the 70's)) goes back to our country rock band of the that time - 'Graham County' ~ here it is as a new and very simple arrangement with guitar, piano and vocals ~ hope you like it ~ perfect for this time in my life ~ Also the song I chose for my audition for the Production & Sound Engineering Program at Fanshawe College in 1988 ~
