Here it comes, little darlings!

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

I’m not sure I need to say much more. It’s getting lighter, warmer, sunnier, greener, happier… And I’m not just talking about the weather: Norwegians seem to be coming out of hibernation mode, and all around the neighbourhood people are shedding their winter coats, wearing lighter and more colourful clothes. Their bright smiles and contact-seeking eyes light up the sidewalks and coffee shops. Go for a stroll, stop for a coffee, you’ll see for yourself. It’s a sure sign: Spring will come around this year too!
