You Can't Have Sunshine Everyday
Chasing Rays: Navigating Life's Ups and Downs with The Rattles
Lyrics
When I was a young girl
Reflecting on her youth
I've got to live in good.
Expressing a desire to lead a virtuous life
'Cause mam ans dad bought
Parents provided everything she desired
ev'rythin' I wanted
Gratitude for parental provision
will good staying ever
Optimistic view of good times lasting
will bad coming never.
Belief that bad times won't arrive
One day I asked my dad
Inquiring her dad about life
and here is what he said:
Dad's response to her question
No
Dad's direct response: "No"
you can't have sunshine every day
Life lesson: Sunshine isn't constant
sunshine ev'ry day
Reiteration of the transient nature of happiness
on your way.
Encouragement to persevere despite challenges
No
Reiteration of the earlier lesson
you can't ahve sunshine every day
Emphasizing the inevitability of challenges
sunshine ev'ry day
Encouragement to persist through difficulties
on your way.
Reaffirmation of life's challenges
I remember so well
Recollection of falling in love
of the day when I fell in love
Nostalgia for the day of love
with a good looking guy.
Describing the object of her affection
Ev'rything was alright
Expressing contentment during the relationship
sorrows were out of sight
Noting the absence of sorrows
then he broke our love.
Heartbreak and the end of the relationship
I heard it from above:
Sensing a higher power's intervention
No
Reiteration of life's challenges and setbacks
you can't have sunshine every day
Restating the transient nature of happiness
sunshine ev'ry day
Reaffirming the impermanence of joy
on your way.
Encouragement to face challenges on the journey
No
Reiteration of the earlier lesson
you can't have sunshine every day
Emphasizing the inevitability of challenges
sunshine ev'ry day
Encouragement to persist through difficulties
on your way.
Reaffirmation of life's challenges
