The Smithereens Lyrics
"If You Want The Sun To Shine"

If you want to say goodbye, I'll wait for your reply
(And) when you're walkin' down the street, you'll know the reason why
If you call me on the phone, you'll find that I have gone
And when he whispers in your ear you'll know that you were wrong

[Chorus:]
If you want the sun to shine
If you want this heart of mine
If you want the sun
If you want the sun
If you want the sun to shine

If you call me by name, there won't be words to say
And when you pass me on the street I'll look the other way
If you think I wait for you, you've got a lot to learn
And if you plan to change your mind, don't wait for my return

[Chorus]

The sun won't shine anymore
The way it used to before
Since you have taken from me
The things that once used to be
If you want the sun
If you want the sun
If you want the sun to shine
If you want to say goodbye I'll wait for your reply
(And) when you're walkin' down the street, you'll know the reason why
If you call me on the phone, you'll find that I have gone
And when he whispers in your ear you'll know that you were wrong

[Chorus]
