Frank don't mind the rain
He kinda digs the sound
But Portland in November
Can sometimes get you down
When you're standing in the doorway
Trying to keep out of the cold
And no one's looking your way
And you got no bills to fold
Well Frank, he don't like begging
But he could use a buck or two
Get a bed down at the Mission
And he could use a buck or two
Maybe sleep a whole night through
And dream about Maria
A girl that he once knew
We all need a little sunshine
We all need a little sunshine
Everybody needs a little sunshine
To make it through
Many days
Dark and gray
We need a little sunshine
Well Frank touched down
At Pioneer Square
June of 69
He thumbed here up the West Coast
To get the war off of his mind
And that's where he met Maria
And she said, Maria,
She made him feel so fine
Singing, we all need a little sunshine
She was singing, we all need a little sunshine
Everybody needs a little sunshine
Love was free, and so was she
Singing in the sunshine, she was free
And so was she, singing in the sunshine

Dancing all night long
It's so easy to sing
Sweet sunshine
Thank you, it's all I need
S
Frank wakes up at sunrise
And he hears a distant train
And finds a piece of cardboard
In the alley by the drain
And he writes his message
Black and bold
And remembers why he came here
We all need a little sunshine
We all need a little sunshine
Everybody needs a little sunshine
I can't take another day
Dark and gray
We need a little sunshine
We all need a little sunshine
We all need
We all need

We all need
A little sunshine
Just a little sunshine
We all need
A little sunshine
Everybody needs
We all need
A little sunshine
We all need
A little sunshine
We all need
We all need
A little sunshine
Tiya!


Everybody needs a little sunshine
Well, Frank don't mind the rain
He kinda digs the sound
