Life isn't long There will be pain but Life goes on With every day, a brand new song But, if you'd rather stay at home Let me do you a favor...

Chorus

I'll ask the sun to shine Away from you today So you can cry (If that's what you want, alright) I'll ask the clouds to bring The rain for you today So you can cry (If that's what you want, alright)

If that's what you want, alright...
