I posted this song a few days ago and Bethan liked the music so much she wrote her own words. Here it is, a co-write across the Atlantic.

SITTING BY THE WINDOW, NOTHING TO DO
WAITING FOR THE TIME WHEN THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
THE SUN SHINES THROUGH, THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
NO-ONE TO PLAY WITH GOTTA STAY AT HOME
ALL I CAN SAY IS BEING ON YOUR OWN IS NOT MUCH FUN WHEN YOUR GUMS ALL GONE
AND RAINS FALLING DOWN BUT YOU’VE GOT TO GET ALONG
TIL THE SUN SHINES THROUGH.

TELEPHONE RINGS ITS MY FRIEND FROM SCHOOL
SAYING HE THINKS IT’LL BE JUST COOL
WHEN THE SUN SHINES THROUGH, WHEN THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
WE CAN GET OUR BIKES AND GO DOWN THE LAKE
CALL IN AT MIKES AND THIS TIME TAKE
SOME CHEWING GUM MUM SAYS IS A MISTAKE COS IT STICKS TO YOUR FACE
BUT IT KEEPS YOU AWAKE
TIL THE SUN SHINES THOUGH

THINGS LOOKING UP, HERE IN TOWN
JUST OUR LUCK, SNOW FALLS DOWN
THERES NOTHING LIKE A SNOW FIGHT TO TAKE AWAY A FROWN

DRESSED FOR THE COLD IN THE YARD I GO
PICKING UP HANDFULS OF FRESH CLEAN SNOW
AS THE SUN SHINES THROUGH, AS THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
HEY CALLS MUM ITS YOUR BEST FRIEND TED
KEEP YOUR GLOVES ON, AND PUT YOUR BIKES IN THE SHED
AS THE SNOWMAN GROWS, THE BEST THERE’S BEEN
A CARROT FOR A NOSE AND HE HAS TO BE SEEN
AS THE SUN SHINES THROUGH.

THINGS LOOKED UP, HERE IN TOWN
JUST OUR LUCK, SNOW CAME DOWN
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A SNOW FIGHT TO TAKE AWAY A FROWN

I WAS SITTING BY THE WINDOW, WITH NOTHING TO DO
WAITING FOR THE TIME WHEN THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
AND THE SUN SHONE THROUGH, THE SUN SHONE THROUGH,
THE SUN SHONE THROUGH, YEAH THE SUN SHONE THROUGH.

Yes, I like this too! It's good solid music, with interesting lyrics. In fact, here is what I left on Bethan's site: LOVE IT! I was hooked when I heard: "not much fun when your gum's all gone" That pretty much sums it up!
