The Weather - Richard Shindell

Here’s to you whose love is new

And all rosy in the summer

Days are long, skies are blue

Nights could not be sweeter

Through the skylight the moon and stars

Will shine like this forever

They’re calling for a thunder storm

But who care about the weather

Here’s to you who lost a love

You never will recover

Now you can’t imagine how

You could ever love another

You boarder all you windows shut

Against that old nor’easter

But someday soon you’ll go back out

And face the changing weather

Outside the rain keeps falling down

Soon the sun will come back out

Love is lost, love is found

So never mind the weather

Here’s to all you Moms and Dads

Who hold it all together

Heaven knows you love your kids

You might even love each other

You work all day, you sleep all night

And find an hour for dinner

And time’s too short to sit and whine

About all this dreary weather
