Sunshine Prediction

I found a way to tell the weather today A forecast that will brighten up our day I'll check the sky and see what's coming near No rainy clouds will make us feel unfair

The weather map shows sunshine bright and clear No storm will interrupt our moments here I'll tell you if it's windy, cold, or warm With simple words that help us stay informed

Oh, I'm gonna track each temperature From chilly to the heat, I'll be so sure And weather changes just like how we feel A perfect day that seems so very real

Well I found a love for watching skies above With breezy winds and clouds that gently move The weather tells a story soft and true A prediction that is always made for you

Baby, I'm just gonna check what's in store Will sunshine come and knock upon our door? No raindrops or the wind can stop our smile Our weather watch will make each moment wild

And when the morning breaks with golden light I'll tell you if the day will feel just right No cloudy skies can dim our happy scene Just weather magic that is fresh and clean

Chorus: We'll watch the sky and see what it can be Predicting every cloud that we might see And I'm gonna love each weather moment's art A simple forecast straight from nature's heart
