Jim’s cue words for Song Lyric Sunday this week are full of possibilities: ‘could’, might’, ‘would’ and ‘should’,
This early sixties (1962 to be exact) classic doesn’t need any introduction. It was Carole King’s first hit as a singer rather than a songwriter.
What shall I write?
What can I say?
How can I tell you how much I miss you?
The weather here has been as nice as it can be
Although it doesn’t really matter much to me
For all the fun I’ll have while you’re so far away
It might as well rain until September
I don’t need sunny skies for things I have to do
‘Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you
As far as I’m concerned each day’s a rainy day
So It might as well rain until September
My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach
Yes everybody loves the summertime
But you know darling while your arms are out of reach
The summer isn’t any friend of mine
It doesn’t matter whether skies are gray or blue
It’s raining in my heart ’cause I can’t be with you
I’m only living for the day you’re home to stay
So It might as well rain until September
September, September, oh
It might as well rain until September
Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King

the only deadhead in the hameau 
Great choice.
You can never go wrong with Carole King. I figured there was a good chance that you would choose the Grateful Dead song Might As Well.
It certainly occurred to me but this has some personal resonance, as well as being a great song.
Your video wouldn’t play so I had to go to youtube to find it. First time hearing this one. She is a great songwriter and a good singer as well.
She’s a genius. Pure and simple.
Love her songs, and this one just has that sound that makes me smile. 🙂
