I Can See Clearly Now the Rain is Gone

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there's nothin but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Not only because it is a great song, but because it holds a special memory in my heart. This song was played at my grandfather's funeral a few years back. It is not your average funeral song....Amazing Grace...but I think it is 100% appropriate. A funeral is a time of celebration. You are celebrating the life of a loved one. All of their adventures, accomplishments, triumphs and sorrows. My grandfather was a wonderful man who definately lived life to the fullest. He and my grandmother partied until his last days. He has friends all over the world who loved and adored him, not to mention a family who centered themselves around him. I will forever love this song and when I'm feeling down or upset, it always seems to brighten my spirits!
