About “I Can See Clearly Now”
This uplifting reggae gem… written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Johnny Nash… reached No. 1 in on the US Billboard Hot 100 when it was released in 1972.
Johnny Nash’s Recording
Special Note: There’s nothing wrong with your ears. It’s not quite in concert pitch, but somewhere between the key D and Eb. For a donation to the website, Frank will send you a pitch corrected version in D major (concert pitch).
Lyrics
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) sunshiny 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) sunshiny 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) sunshiny day.
