Here Comes the Sun

4x6" colored pencil
from a photo I took at Kern's Mardi Gras World, New Orleans, 1999

The warm sunny spring day, singing birds, and blooming garden inspired me to finish the drawing up, and I found myself humming this Beatles song:

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun,
And I say
It's alright.

Little darling,
It's been a long cold lonely winter.
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here.

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun,
And I say
It's alright.

Little darling,
The smiles returning to the faces,
Little darling,
It seems likes years since it's been here.

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun,
And I say
It's alright.

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes (four times)

Little darling,
I see the 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 alright.

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun,
It's alright.
