Lyrics

The sun is out in glory
The pigeons follow suit
And beaten men tell stories
And give the paper cup salute
And me, I'm feeling restless
But I don't mind at all
A sunny day in old New Amsterdam
Before the rain begins to fall

Sam is breathing fire
And Gypsy sells a ring
Paul is playing sad and sweet
But no-one hears a thing
And me, I'll be the fool again
But I don't mind at all
A sunny day in old New Amsterdam
Before the rain begins to fall

And many times I've stood here
A thousand days are gone
And she can't even know or care
Another day goes on

Storms have gone before us
And storms will come to pass
She stands, not just tall or proud
But standing to the last
And me, I tried to leave her
But still I hear the call
A sunny day in old New Amsterdam
Before the rain begins to fall

So when the sky turns cloudy
I won't mind at all
A sunny day in old New Amsterdam
Before the rain begins to fall
