let in the sunshine

The days of winter can get--excuse me, ARE--long, cold, grey, and freezing cold. :) It can affect my outlook on life and I forget the beauty that is around me...even when life seems "not beautiful". One of my latest favorite songs is called "Hello Sunshine" by the Barlow Girls. It's a great song to listen to on a cold dreary day like today to remind myself to look for the "sun" even when it doesn't seem to be here.
................
Hello sunshine it's been too long since
I felt your beautiful warmth upon my face
And how much have I missed
Because I've been focused on everything wrong
This road just felt so long
I forgot to lift my head to see you

Oh my lovely shining for me
Let my eyes see all the beauty Oh-oh

Hello sunshine since the moment
That I felt your beautiful warmth
I knew that I'd do anything
To keep this feeling of you
My heart comes alive
Oh who could add a day to this life
By drowning every dark sky

Oh my lovely shining for me
Let my eyes see all the beauty Oh-oh

Fill my dark skies
Make me see why
Life is fine so bring in the sunshine Oh-oh

Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Let in the sunshine
