Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
I know it's past visitin' hours
But can I please give her these flowers?
The doctor don't wanna take procedures,
He claim my heart can't take the anastesia,
It'll send her body into a seizure,
The little thing by the hospital bed, it'll stop beepin'.
Hey, Chic, I'm at a lost for words,
What do you say at this time?
Remember when I was nine?
Tell her everything gon' be fine?
But I'd be lyin', the family cryin',
They want her to live, and she tryin'.
I'm arguin' like what kind of doctor can we fly in,
You know the best medicine go to people that's paid.
If Magic Johnson got a cure for AIDS,
And all the broke mothafuckas past away,
You tellin' me if my grandma was in the NBA,
Right now she'd be OK?
But since she was just a secretary
Workin' for the church
For thirty five years,
Things ‘posed to stop right here.
My grandfather tryin' to pull it together, he's strong,
That's where I get my confidence from.
I asked the nurse, “Did you do the research?”
She ask me, “Can you sign some T-shirts?”
Bitch, is you smokin' reefer?
You don't see that we hurt
But still...

[Chorus:]
I smile
When roses come to see me,
And I can't wait for a sunny day.
I'm seein' it through your eyes.
Can't wait for the clouds to break.

[Verse 2:]
They outside of the emergency room, room,
You can feel my heart beat, beat, beat.
If she gon' pull through,
We gon' find out soon,
But right now she sleep, sleep, sleep.
My mama say, they say, she could pass away any day,
Hey, Chic, what these doctors know anyway?
Let me see the X-rays,
I ain't no expert, I'm just hurt.
Cousin Kim took off for work,
Plus my aunt Shirley, aunt Beverly, aunt Claire and aunt Jean,
So many aunties, we could have an Auntie team.
Feel like Amerie, it's just one thing.
When they said that she made it,
You see the eyes gleam,
I think we at an all time high.
To get there we run, we fly, we drive
‘Cause with my family we know where home is,
So instead of sendin' flowers
We the roses...

[Chorus]

Who brings the sunshine?

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
I smile when Rosey comes to see me,
And I'm sad, when Rosey goes away.
Oh, Rosey brings the sunshine.

Can't wait, I can't wait, no,
Can't wait, I can't wait, no,
Can't wait, I, can't wait.
No, can't wait, for, for a sunny day,
Momma can't wait, for the clouds to break.
Tellin' you the truth now,
Said I can't wait,
I won't wait, no.
