Sobre o conjunto

STORMY

Fonte: http://www.elyrics.net

You are the sunshine, baby, whenever you smile

But I call you Stormy today

All of a sudden that ol' rain is fallin' down

And my world is cloudy and gray

You've gone away

Old Stormy Stormy

Old Stormy Stormy

Old Stormy Stormy

Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze

But like the weather you changed

Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold

And I stand alone in the rain

Callin' out your name

Stormy Stormy

Stormy Stormy

Come back to me Stormy

Stormy Stormy

Bring back that sunny day

Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze

But like the weather you changed

Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold

And I stand alone in the rain

Callin' out your name

Whoa! Stormy

Stormy, come back to me Stormy

Stormy, come back to me Stormy

Come on home! Stormy

Bring back that sunny day
