Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Nellie

When skies are gray just smile and say

Wait until another day

Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

And the clouds go drifting by

We'll be so happy, Nellie, don't you cry

Down lovers' lane we'll wander

Sweethearts, you and I

Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

Bye and bye

On a Sunday morn sat a maid forlorn

With her sweetheart by her side

Through the windowpane she looked at the rain

"We must stay home, Joe," she cried

"There's a picnic too at the old Point View

It's a shame it rained today"

Then the boy drew near

Kissed away each tear

And she heard him softly say

"Now won't you wait?"

Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

And the clouds go drifting by

We will be so happy, Nellie, don't you cry

Down lovers' lane we'll wander

And be sweethearts, you and I

Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

Bye bye bye

Down lovers' lane we'll wander

Sweethearts, you and I

Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

Bye and bye
