When skies are grey, just smile and say, wait until another day. Wait till the sun shines, Nelly, and the clouds go drifting by. We'll be so happy, Nelly, don't you cry. Down lover's lane we'll wander, sweetheart, you and I. Wait till the sun shines, Nelly, by and by. On a Sunday morn, sad and made forlorn, with her sweetheart by her side. Through the windowpane she looked at the rain. We must stay home, Jo, 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, Nelly, and the clouds go drifting by. We'll be so happy, Nelly, don't you cry. Down lover's lane we'll wander, sweetheart, you and I. Wait till the sun shines, Nelly, by and by. Down lover's lane we'll wander, sweetheart, you and I. Wait till the sun shines, Nelly, by and by.
