Sonny from Sweet Optimism by Alun Parry

Sonny, tell me why you're looking down

Did no-one tell you 'bout the tears of a clown

And someday soon we'll turn this whole world upside down

And the days are gonna be much better



Sonny, tell me why you seem so blue

Did no-one tell you that these feelings pass on through

And someday soon you'll see the sunlight shines on you

And the days are gonna be much better



And then our days will be

Out of a fantasy

There will be you and me

And we'll be happy



Sonny, tell me why your day's so long

Did no-one tell you that you've got to sing along

And someday soon we'll play a different kind of song

And the days are gonna be much better



And then our days will be

Out of a fantasy

There will be you and me

And we'll be happy



Oh Sonny, tell me why you seem so blue

Did no-one tell you that these feelings pass on through

And someday soon you'll see the sunlight shines on you

And the days are gonna be much better
