Lyrics
You were the sunshine, baby, whenever you smiled
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden, that ol’ rain’s fallin’ down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You’ve gone away
Oh, Stormy, oh, Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Yesterday’s love was like a warm summer breeze
But like the weather, you changed
Now things are dreary, baby
And it’s windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin’ your name
Oh, Stormy, oh, Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Oh, Stormy, oh, Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Bring back that sunny day
Oh, Stormy, oh, Stormy
