Heavenly sunshine, only you can stop the rain
Pouring in my heart, and causing tears of pain
All of your feelin' seems to make me glow
Like heavenly sunshine makes the flowers grow
Oo, oh, Lord
You're my sunshine, loving you is my dream
When I'm with you, I hear bluebells ring
And the beauty only you can bring
Keep me smiling, my heart's filing away
Memories of a life with you
Take me with you, I'm the one who's
Gonna lift you to your Shining Star
You are my light when dark days do appear, Lord
Bringing me sunshine, my heart has no fear
Ooo, birds in the air, they even sing your name
Spreading love's rainbow, an everlasting flame
Oo, oh, Lord
You're my sunshine, loving you is my dream
When I'm with you, I hear bluebells ring
And the beauty only you can bring
Keep me smiling, my heart's filing away
Memories of a life with you
Take me with you, I'm the one who's
Gonna lift you to your Shining Star
Ooo, you make me happy, baby
You, hey, make me feel real good
Yeah, yeah, haw, baby
And so it may seem that my life's a paradise
Oo, but you, you are my sunshine
You make things alright
Pouring in my heart, and causing tears of pain
All of your feelin' seems to make me glow
Like heavenly sunshine makes the flowers grow
Oo, oh, Lord
You're my sunshine, loving you is my dream
When I'm with you, I hear bluebells ring
And the beauty only you can bring
Keep me smiling, my heart's filing away
Memories of a life with you
Take me with you, I'm the one who's
Gonna lift you to your Shining Star
You are my light when dark days do appear, Lord
Bringing me sunshine, my heart has no fear
Ooo, birds in the air, they even sing your name
Spreading love's rainbow, an everlasting flame
Oo, oh, Lord
You're my sunshine, loving you is my dream
When I'm with you, I hear bluebells ring
And the beauty only you can bring
Keep me smiling, my heart's filing away
Memories of a life with you
Take me with you, I'm the one who's
Gonna lift you to your Shining Star
Ooo, you make me happy, baby
You, hey, make me feel real good
Yeah, yeah, haw, baby
And so it may seem that my life's a paradise
Oo, but you, you are my sunshine
You make things alright
