Like the Ray of Sunshine in the Midst of Rain
Like rain that comes accompanied
By a ray of sunshine
So do now my feelings for you
Come mixed with sorrow
Feelings of tender love
Of a heart that misses
And always fears the moment
Of the last adieu
As though it were really the
last
When it is not
A
heart split into two
Between the nest of love
And the love of nest
Between being with you
And being alone
Right now wrapped up
By sadness as I remember your smile
Like the ray of sunshine
Breaking in the midst of rain
