Lyrics
I went to the market
though it was threatening rain
I was late to the station
that's why I missed that train
and the streets filled with umbrellas
and we all looked the same
but I'm the one who's waiting
'til the sun comes out again, I say

I was made for sunny days
I made do with gray
but I didn't stay
I was made for sunny days
and I was made for you

Found the look you gave me
when we were first in bloom
when I thought that you might save me
from the dark side of the moon
instead we both went walking
through the shadows and the gloom
and we never did stop talking
you still light up the room, I say

I was made for sunny days
I made do with gray
but I didn't stay
I was made for sunny days
and I was made for you

Oooh, the nights are longer
Oooh, you make me stronger
and the late light lingers on the grass
'cause the nights are dark but then they pass
they don't seem so deep
I'm still losing sleep, but I don't mind
no, I don't mind

I got you a winter jacket
that our baby wears around
and we chased him through the springtime
and the sleeves dragged on the ground
and every hour we're working
and work and play are bound
and every day is Sunday
'cause the sun comes dancing down, I say

I was made for sunny days
I made do with gray
but I didn't stay
I was made for sunny days
and I was made for you

I was made for sunny days
and I was made for you

Not at all what I was expecting from this source, but utterly adorable! I'm still smiling.

[thirdblindmouse]

I hope it was a pleasant surprise. :)

[semielliptical]

Aw, this made me smile! A great picture of Nick and Nora's relationship.

[thirdblindmouse]

Thank you! :)

[jetpack_monkey]

*flaps hands* My married OTP! Those two! I just... thank you so much Festividder. Such a lovely look at my two favorite rumshoes (see what I did there).

*hugs you*

[jetpack_monkey]

I just want to cuddle this vid. Seriously. I only discovered Nick and Nora in the last year and I devoured the entire series in a matter of 4-5 days... this vid shows so much of why that is. They are so in love, but also know each other well enough to stay playful and give each other crap.

Thank you again!

[thirdblindmouse]

You are very welcome! It was a pleasure making this vid for you; Nick and Nora are adorable.

[laurashapiro]

Just delightful!

[thirdblindmouse]

Thanks!

[giandujakiss]

This is absolutely adorable. I was smiling and so happy the whole way through.

[thirdblindmouse]

Thank you for saying so!

[dine]

perfection! a great reminder of how much I love these characters (and the movies)

[thirdblindmouse]

Aw, thank you!

[settiai]

This was lovely!

[thirdblindmouse]

Thank you!

[cofax7]

Oh, how adorable!

[thirdblindmouse]

Thank you!

[franzeska]

I forgot Mrs. Asta! So cute, and just what I remember from seeing these as a kid! (Not, thankfully, what I remember from watching bits and pieces more recently. Clearly, I picked the wrong bits to revisit.)

[thirdblindmouse]

How could you forget Mrs. Asta?! But thank you! :D These were the parts I remembered with fondness; there are certaintly parts of these movies that I am less fond of.

[eruthros]

This is lovely!

[thirdblindmouse]

Thank you!

[airie-fairy.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwwwww!!

[thirdblindmouse]

Hee, thanks! <3

[echan]

So cute and goofy adorableness!

[thirdblindmouse]

Yay, thank you!

[bessemerprocess]

I love Nick and Nora and I love this. Such a great song pick.

[thirdblindmouse]

I'm glad you liked it!

[metonymy]

Oh, this is one of the best songs for OTPs, and you did such a lovely job with this - though their chemistry helps a lot! So much fun.

[thirdblindmouse]

Their chemistry does at least half the work. ;) Thanks!

[wealhtheow]

Aww, you managed to capture so many of Nora's insane/fabulous outfits and both of their adorable expressions at each other!

[thirdblindmouse]

Thank you! Yeah, 30s movies have some astonishing clothing in them.

[aris_tgd]

Aww, they're so delightful and so is this vid!

[thirdblindmouse]

Thank you! :)

[isagel]

So sweet! :D

[thirdblindmouse]

Aw, thanks!

[felis]

Aw, this was lovely.
