Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right 

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say

It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Here comes the sun

 Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
It's all right

Throughout much of the United States, Daylight Savings Time begins today. Did you remember to set your clock ahead one hour?

Why, you may ask, am I getting so giddy about Daylight Savings Time, treating it as the end of winter, when the first day of spring is still a week and a half away? Well, here in Ohio at least, there's often no perceptible difference between the first day of spring and the day before the first day of spring. Or, if something does change, that change is often for the worse. I'm not saying it's going to happen this year, but in the past that first day has been cloudy, or rainy, or there's been a snowstorm, or the temperatures were in the teens. True, spring technically arrives because of something that has to due with Earth's orbit around the sun, but you'd have to live in a space station to appreciate it. Ah, but thanks to the human construct known as Daylight Savings Time, that change is immediately apparent. Spring, or at least one aspect of spring as well as summer, is put on the fast track. No matter what. Even if it's cloudy, even if it's rainy, even if there's a snowstorm, even if temperatures are in the teens, night is still going to come one hour later than it did just yesterday, and, after several months of dark-to-dusk-to-dark again, that, for me, is reason enough to celebrate.

Now, if you'll--yawn--excuse me, I'm going to take a little nap. For some reason, I didn't get enough sleep last night.
