Sunshine of Your LoveCream

Songwriter: Peter Brown (UK) Eric Clapton Jack Bruce

Producer: Felix Pappalardi

[Verse 1]
It’s getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I’ll soon be with you, my love
To give you my dawn surprise
I’ll be with you, darling, soon
I’ll be with you when the stars start falling

[Chorus]
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

[Verse 2]
I’m with you, my love
The lights shining through on you
Yes, I’m with you, my love
It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you, darling, now
I’ll stay with you 'til my seas are dried up

[Chorus]
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
I’m with you, my love
The lights shining through on you
Yes, I’m with you, my love
It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you, darling, now
I’ll stay with you 'til my seas are dried up

[Chorus]
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

Cream

The members of this power trio, formed in the autumn of 1966, were all veterans of the blues revival. Guitarist Eric Clapton was the same prodigy who revealed himself with the Yardbirds, and who had contributed to the legendary recording of Bluesbreakers with John Mayall. Drummer Peter “Ginger” Baker, skilled at many forms of percussion, had already played, in 1960, with the Nigerian musician Fela Anikulapo Kuti, and in 1962 with Alexis Korner and the Graham Bond Organisation. Scottish bassist Jack Bruce had traveled some of the same roads as Baker, before joining Manfred Mann. Bruce and Clapton had met each other in the Powerhouse, a short-lived lineup put together by John Mayall, that also included Steve Winwood at the keyboard. With Cream these three virtuosos simply brought to fruition the experience that they developed in the London clubs, bringing to the rock concert stage long, electric, high volume improvisations.
