A novelty march from 1905.
Words by Andrew B. Sterling.
Music by Harry Von Tilzer.
A young man reassures his sweetheart of a romantic time together. You can feel it when the sun comes out.

Lyrics
- On a Sunday Morn, sat a maid forlorn
With her sweetheart by her side
Through the window pane, she looked at the rain
“We must stay home, Joe” she cried
There’s a picnic too, at the Old Point View
It’s a shame it rained today
Then the boy drew near, kissed away each tear
And she heard him softly say
Chorus
Wait ’till the sun shines, Nellie, when the clouds go drifting by
We will be happy Nellie, don’t you sigh
Down lover’s lane we’ll wander, sweethearts you and I
Wait ’till the sun shines, Nellie, bye and bye
- “How I long,” she sighed, “for a trolley ride
Just to show my brand new gown
Then she gazed on high, with a gladsome cry
For the sun came shining down
And she looked so sweet, on the big front seat
As the car sped on its way
And she whispered low, “Say, you’re all right Joe
You just won my heart today”
