SOMETIMES I DON'T MIND
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1978


Sometimes I don't mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rain.
Sometimes I don't mind the fun times
Sometimes they're all the same.

When I'm thinking of you
There's a fever around
I don't know what to do.
When I'm drinking to you
I get down in my shoes 
In a waltz with the blues.

Sometimes I don't mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rest.
Sometimes I don't mind a good time
Sometimes I do what's best.

When I'm thinking of you
That I leave her alone
This is sad
This is true.
When I'm drinking to you
I get down in the mouth.
Tell me what can I do.

(bridge)

Sometimes I don't mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the change
Sometimes I don't mind a fun time
To me it's all the same.

When I'm thinking of you
There's a feeling inside
Which is long overdue.
When I'm drinking to you 
I get down in my shoes
In a waltz with the blues.

(bridge)

Sometimes I don't mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rain
Sometimes I don't mind a good time
Sometimes they're all the same.

When I'm thinking of you
There's a fever around
I don't know what to do.
When I'm drinking to you
I get down in my shoes 
In a waltz with the blues.
