Hang On Little Tomato Lyrics
It’s dark, I cannot see
Why does this rain pour down
I’m gonna drown
In a sea
Of deep confusion
Whenever you are sad and blue
And you’re feelin’ all alone and left behind
Just take a look inside and you will find
Hang on, things will be all right
Even when it’s dark
And not a bit of sparkling
Sing-song sunshine from above
Spreading rays of sunny love
Stay on, soon you’ll be divine
If you start to cry, look up to the sky
Something’s coming up ahead
To turn your tears to dew instead
When change is hard and not so nice
You listen to your heart the whole night through
Your sunny someday will come one day soon to you






Happy music :)) Seriously, it's such a nice and optimistic song, Pink Martini are great.

I'm with you there, I love this song. Whenever things are shitty, or I"m in a really bad mood, I listen to this song to cheer me up. It's gotten me through a lot.

A dear friend introduced me to Pink M. because of this song. I was sooooooooo depressed, my wife had left me and was in the arms of another, I had just injured myself and couldn't exercise, and was living alone with no one to hug. And into this sad-country-song situation enters my friend Patti, who says "listen to this". OK, it didn't outright change my life, but it sure felt uplifting to know someone cared - - this song brings that out in people.

I saw Pink Martini in concert once when they played this song. Thomas Lauderdale introduced it by saying he'd seen a ketchup advertisement from 1964 that depicted a tomato on a vine, with the slogan, "Hang on, little tomato!" The idea being that they only harvested the most ripe and flavorful tomatoes to smash for their ketchup. So, he said, it's a song about hope... and death. Straight from the horse's mouth, as it were.
