RESILIENT SOUNDTRACK
After our long dark Winter, the Beatles Here Comes The Sun can (hopefully) help us usher in Spring. Here's to a sunny Summer!
Here comes the sun (doo doo doo doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
