Pretending It’s A Sunny Day

An upbeat acoustic rock song about a person’s ability to mentally check out of difficult or stressful everyday situations they find themselves in by closing their eyes and going away to an easy and carefree situation in which they are in a new beautiful place based on fond memories.
"Pretending It's A Sunny Day"
Written by Scott CooleyWhen I think of a sunrise, I always think of you
Coffee on the swing, a view of water so smooth
With the world waking up, listening for a loon
Making plans for a luminous afternoon
When I’m stuck inside and the sky is overcast gray
In my mind I can see you and I out on a brilliant bay
I visualize leaving darkness behind and sailing away
To my happy place, pretending it’s a sunny day
Remembering summers with you on the lake
From heavens of blue soaking in the rays
Slowly floating with the wind over waves
Radiant smiles in a yellow-orange haze
When I’m stuck inside and the sky is overcast gray
In my mind I can see you and I out on a brilliant bay
I visualize leaving darkness behind and sailing away
To my happy place, pretending it’s a sunny day
Seasonal depression, it really happens
When it feels like you’re trapped in Barrow, Alaska
Daydreaming, just picture the sun’s corona
You can transport yourself to Yuma, Arizona
When I’m stuck inside and the sky is overcast gray
In my mind I can see you and I out on a brilliant bay
I visualize leaving darkness behind and sailing away
To my happy place, pretending it’s a sunny day
I'm in my happy place, pretending it’s a sunny day
