SUNSHINE AND PALM TREES ~ Lyrics

When it’s raining outside
and your feeling kind of down
Take an upside down smile
and turn it all around

Take a look and you’ll see
it’s always me that you’ll find
Sunshine and palm trees inside

When life seems unfair
nothing seems to go right
take a deep breath
you’ll make it through the night

take a chance and be free
you’ll always be here with me
Sunshine and palm trees inside

Guitar solo

When it’s raining outside
and your feeling kind of down
take an upside down smile
and turn it all around

Take a look and you’ll see
it’s always me that you’ll find
Sunshine and palm trees inside.
