Take the Sunshine, Leave the Rain

If I could take my time again

A different thing I\'d do;

I\'d take the comfort, leave the pain.

I\'d take the sunshine, leave the rain,

If only I could start anew.

 

If I could be another\'s son

A different path I\'d choose;

I\'d walk along, I wouldn\'t run,

I\'d leave the sorrow, take the fun,

If only I could re-infuse.

 

If I could start another hour

A different way I\'d go;

I\'d take the sweetness, leave the sour,

I\'d take the jolly, leave the dour,

If only I could make it so.

 

If I could live another day

I\'d tread a different way;

I\'d leave the turmoil, take the calm,

And leave the coarseness, take the charm,

If I could take my time again...

I\'d take the sunshine, leave the rain.
