Save it up for a Rainy Day
(Karsten Ries)

Version 2025

Sometimes life isn’t what you want it to be
Sometimes it’s laughter, sometimes uncertainty
One day the sun shines, the next day it rains
It seems that all the good things just never remain

So if anything good happens to you
Hold it as tight as you can
’Cause you know maybe all these good things
Will never come again

So if you got money
(save it up for a rainy day)
If you see joy
(save it up for a rainy day)
If you feel safe
(save it up for a rainy day)
And keep your faith
(save it up for a rainy day)

So if you got cake
(save it up for a rainy day)
If you’re amazed
(save it up for a rainy day)
If you got hope
(save it up for a rainy day)
And when you find love
(save it up for a rainy day)

Harvest the moments before they decay
Carry them gently
And their light will guide your way

Don’t waste anything ’cause it hurts when it’s away
Keep it together
And the sun will shine always

When you wanna watch TV ’cause outside it rains
There’s just boring stuff and nothing of interest remains
When all your beer’s been drunk but you still feel the thirst
Remember what I told you and listen to my words

So if anything good happens to you
Hold it as tight as you can
’Cause you know maybe all these good things
Will never come again

So if you got coffee
(save it up for a rainy day)
If you see joy
(save it up for a rainy day)
If you feel safe
(save it up for a rainy day)
And keep your faith
(save it up for a rainy day)

So if you feel free
(save it up for a rainy day)
If you know peac
(save it up for a rainy day)
When you find gold
(save it up for a rainy day)
And hold on to your love
(save it up for a rainy day)

Harvest the moments before they decay
Carry them gently
And their light will guide your way

Don’t waste anything ’cause it hurts when it’s away
Keep it together
And the sun will shine always
