Name: Sunshine (after the Rain) alt. chorus
Duration: P00H04M36S
Description: This is a different melodic chorus than the released version of Sunshine (after the Rain). I was playing with the way the chorus hit, but ultimately decided on the released version. I also have the original idea for the second pre-chorus, but since my husband doesn't get high, he asked that I re-write it. But I dig this version too, so I though I would share it.

lyrics

Should we have seen this coming? should we have known?
Of all the planets in your orbit, could you feel my draw?
Was it you that found me, or the other way ‘round?
That first date—that wasn’t a date, I don’t know what you saw

Pre chorus
You’re the prize in the cereal box
You’re the center of my tootsie pop

Now we have been together for quite some time.
All the changes we’ve gone through in our shared life
Only cause me to love you, love you more and more
More today than yesterday and all the days before

Pre chorus
You’re the hook from my favorite song
You’re a hit from my favorite bong

Chorus:
You are my Sunshine (after the rain)
My only Sunshine (after the rain)
Your smile is a rainbow
Breaking through my darkest day

When the world seems against me, I think of that smile
And that spark of mischief that lives in your eyes
When I’m with you, I’m happy; you always make me laugh
My love, I am honored to be your other half

Pre Chorus
You’re Shakira when she shakes her hips
You’re this pithy, clever little quip

Chorus:
You are my Sunshine (after the rain)
My only Sunshine (after the rain)
Your smile is a rainbow
Breaking through my darkest day

Guitar Solo

Pre Chorus
You are Miles playing “Kind of Blue”
You’re the question to the answer 42

Chorus:
You are my Sunshine (after the rain)
My only Sunshine (after the rain)
Your smile is a rainbow
Breaking through my darkest day
