40 Years Ago- I Can See Clearly Now

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It’s going to be a bright, bright 

Sun Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for

It’s going to be a bright, bright

Sun Shiny day.

Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies

Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It’s going to be a bright, bright

Sun Shiny day.

Nash 

1972

One of those songs of pure optimism, it took a full 6 months from the release in spring of 1972 to reach #1 on the charts. What is your favorite song of unbridled joyfulness? I want to know.
