[Verse 1]
It's raining, but there ain't a cloud in the sky
Must have been a tear from your eye
Everything will be okay
Yeah funny, I thought I felt a sweet summer breeze
Must have been you sighing so deep
Don't worry, we're going to find a way

[Chorus]
I'm waiting, waiting on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Yeah, I'm waiting on a sunny day

[Verse 2]
Without you, I'm working with the rain falling down
I'm half a party in a one dog town
I need you to chase these blues away
Without you, I'm a drummer girl that can't keep a beat
Ice cream truck on a deserted street
I hope that you're comin' to stay

[Chorus]
I'm waiting, waiting on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waiting on a sunny day

[Verse 3]
Hard times, baby well they come to us all
Sure as the ticking of the clock on the wall
Sure as the turning of the night into day
Your smile girl, brings the morning light to my eyes
Lifts away the blues when I rise
I hope that you're coming to stay

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm waiting, waiting on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waiting on a sunny day

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
