Stormy Weather Lyrics

WRITERS LEO SAYER, TOM SNOW

sometimes you can be like a stranger
in moments when you're so far away
in the night when I reach out to hold you
you just turn away, why do you turn away

oh, I love you so when you're smilin'
but your smile has faded overnight
will we stay like this for a lifetime
gettin' nothin' right, gettin' nothin' right

why do we always have stormy weather
why do we have it so rough
is it so hard just to stay close together
why can't we ever have love

oh, I knew from the first time I saw you
I just had to make you mine
felt so sad when you told me
about your troubled life, all about your troubled life

so here we are just a few years further
still tryin' to make it work
I've a feelin' what we really need right now, girl
is just a little love, oh baby, just a little love

why should we always have stormy weather
why should we have it so rough
it's not so hard just to stay close together
why can't we only have love
