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 gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Sunshinning 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 prayin' for

It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Sunshinning day.

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies

Look straight ahead, nothin' 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 gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)

Sunshinning day. (x3)

       Royden Dickey Lipscomb (born September 21, 1936), known professionally as Dickey Lee(sometimes misspelled Dickie or Dicky), is an American pop/country singer and songwriter, best known for the 1960s teenage tragedy songs "Patches" and "Laurie (Strange Things Happen)". He also has a number of hit songs on the country charts in the 1970s, including "Rocky" and "9,999,999 Tears", and has written or co-written songs recorded by other singers, such as "She Thinks I Still Care", "The Door Is Always Open" and "The Keeper of the Stars".

        Lee formed a country trio while he was still at school at the age of 16, performing at his school and local functions. In 1957–58, Lee made his first two recordings, "Dream Boy" and "Stay True Baby", in his hometown of Memphis for Tampa Records, later released two songs for Sun Records in, although the song were only regional hits. He moved to Texas, and achieved his first chart success in 1962, when his composition "She Thinks I Still Care" was a hit for George Jones (later recorded by Elvis Presley, Connie Francis, Leon Russell, and later Anne Murray as "He Thinks I Still Care"). Glen Campbell also recorded the song for his final album, Adios. Later that year, "Patches", written by Barry Mann and Larry Kobler and recorded by Lee for Smash Records, rose to Nº 6. The song tells in waltz-time the story of teenage lovers of different social classes whose parents forbid their love. The girl drowns herself in the "dirty old river". The singer concludes: "It may not be right, but I'll join you tonight/ Patches I'm coming to you." Because of the teen suicide theme, the song was banned by a number of radio stations. However, it sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc. It is in this period that he changed his named legally from Royden Dickey Lipscomb to Dickey Lee after a man of similar name attempted to sue him for using his name.

(Hey, hey, hey, hey-ay, hey, hey, hey, hey-ay)

Nights didn't seem so long no more,

Ain't one man like it was before --

Just when I thought I was really okay,

I saw Linda yesterday.

My heart went up, down,

Like a merry-go-round and ‘round,

Like a forest fire, Down, down,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

Looked like I'd found peace of mind,

Looked like I was gonna make it this time --

Just when I thought I was really okay,

I saw Linda yesterday.

Oh, she smiled that same old smile,

My heart was runnin' wild --

My love for her is reelin'

As I go off the ceilin',

(Hey, hey, dumb de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do,

dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dumb-dum...)

Go straight to a lonely guy,

Sit around and watch me cry --

People ask what's wrong, I say,

"I saw Linda yesterday."

My heart went up, down,

Like a merry-go-round and ‘round,

Like a forest fire, Down, down,

Oh, oh, oh, dumb-didly, dumb-didly, dumb-dumb-dum...

Hey, hey, dumb de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie,

Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do,

dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dum...

Vem ver lá no céu uma feiticeira a voar
monta uma vassoura e vai cumprir sua obrigação
cantando mas...
vem ver lá no céu
quando a noite é linda de luar
passa num galope e vai direto pra alto mar

é feiticeira mas só de nome pois faz o bem
o seu trabalho é trazer pro mundo a paz
cantando mas...
vem ver lá no céu uma feiticeira a voar
toda a noite fala com as sereias do alto mar
vai pedir um mundo de paz

cantando mas...
vem ver lá no céu
quando a noite é linda de luar
passa num galope e vai direto pra alto mar

é feiticeira mas só de nome pois faz o bem
o seu trabalho é trazer pro mundo a paz
cantando mas...
vem ver lá no céu uma feiticeira a voar
toda a noite fala com as sereias do alto mar
vai pedir um mundo de paz

The light is fading now

My soul is running on a puff

That I cannot reach

My brain is turnin'

And my head is hurtin'

Every day a little bit more

The light is fading now

My forces is being sucked by

A ¿bloody leach?

My fear is smilin'

And my threat is singin'

Every night a little bit more

I cannot see anything

I am blindfolded

I can hear the birds

I can see them fly

I can see the sky

I can hear the birds

I can see them fly

I can see the sky

It's about to cry

I'm a zombie

I don't know what to do

I should be done in the place

But I gotta stay, stay stay

Stay stay stay stay

I'm so lonely

I don't know if I get through

I wanna be floating in space

But I gotta stay, stay stay

Stay stay stay stay

I can hear the birds

I can see them fly

I can see the sky

I can hear the birds

I can see them fly

I can see the sky

It's about to cry.
