Lyrics
VERSE
Whether the sky is clear,
Whether it’s cloudy, dear,
Let it be any kind of weather—
Never a single fuss,
Nothing can bother us
Long as we agree to be together:
CHORUS
Let the lazy sun refuse to shine,
We should care.
Long as I am yours and you are mine,
We should care.
Should there come a day
When the sky is gray,
Love is blind, but never mind,
It’s bound to find a way.
Business may be bad or may be fine,
We should care,
Just as long as we remain a pair,
For as long as we keep caring,
The world may go on tearing out its hair,
We should care.
