I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s going to be a bright, bright
Sun Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s going to be a bright, bright
Sun Shiny day.
Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s going to be a bright, bright
Sun Shiny day.
Nash
1972
One of those songs of pure optimism, it took a full 6 months from the release in spring of 1972 to reach #1 on the charts. What is your favorite song of unbridled joyfulness? I want to know.
