VanHalen/Nash Collaboration, RIP





I get up and nothin' gets me down.

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone,

You got it tough; I've seen the toughest around.

I can see all obstacles in my way.

And I know, baby, just how you feel,

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.

You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real.

It's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day. 

Ah, can't you see me standin' here, I got my back against the record machine

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone.

I ain't the worst that you seen.

All of the bad feelings have disappeared.

Ah, can't you see what I mean?

Here is that rainbow I've been prayin' for.

Might as well jump! (jump) 

It's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day. 

Ah, might as well jump! (jump)

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day. 

Baby, how you been?
You say you can't know; 
You won't know until you begin

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
