Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Whether the day is clear
Whether it’s cloudy dear
Let it be blue or gray above
Never a single fuss
Nothing can bother us
Long as we remain in love
Chorus
Let the sky, start to cry
What does it matter, let it pitter patter
We should care
Hand in hand, we can stand
Any old weather long as we’re together
We should care
Let the hazy sun refuse to shine
Long as I am yours, and you are mine
Long as we keep on caring
The world may go tearing its hair
We should care
- Nothing is ever sure
Happiness can’t endure
Trouble comes creeping up the stairs
That is when things look blue
But if I’m there with you
And you’re there with me, who cares?
