I used to have the world in my handbag

How did I manage to blow it?

I missed the bus, I lost my heart

An an awful lot of mornings

I used to have the stars in my pockets

Now I just watch them on TV

My friends, they've all run away

But they'll come back again

And we'll have a celebration

Getting back on my medication

We'll have a rainy day parade



I used to live with someone who loved me

But somehow they ran out of patience

I regret those things I said

They were so uncalled for

Can't you see that the weather is changing

The dark clouds over my head

About to burst, I've seen the worst

Let it pour all day

'Cause I'm filled with good vibrations

I got that old sensation

We'll have a rainy day parade



You're gonna want me back

You're gonna let me in

We're gonna wash our sins away



Got the world in my handbag

Got my notebook too

Got the stars in my pocket

I'm gonna give them all to you



And we'll take a long vacation

We'll sweep across the nation

We'll have a rainy day parade

Getting back that old sensation

Back on my medication

We'll have a rainy day parade
