[Verse 1]
It's such a beautiful day that the sky seems to say "good morning
Mister, dust off your shoes
Throw away all your blues and start smiling
Take a good look around
There's no clouds looking down upon your way
So won't you decide to come back alive, it's a new day

[Chorus]
Sunday sunrise, shining through my windowpane
Chasing away my cares with all the pouring rain
Sunday sunrise unfolded like a smile
Making me feel just like a newborn baby child

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm feeling so good
I keep knocking on wood, I'm not dreaming
I hear birds everywhere singing songs in the air without a meaning
Saying it's time to wake up get a whole new outlook from your view
Come on out where it's warm, it won't do any harm if you want to

[Chorus]
Sunday sunrise, shining through my windowpane
Chasing away my cares with all of the pouring rain
Sunday sunrise unfolded like a smile
Making me feel just like a newborn baby child
Oh, Sunday sunrise, shining through my windowpane
Chasing away my cares with all the pouring rain
