SUNSHINE SUNSHINE
(James Taylor)

Recorded by : Tom Rush; James Taylor.


Sounds of laughter here comes sunshine
Smiling faces all around
They possess you bless you sunshine
Now you can never let them down
I say sunshine

Sunshine, sunshine
Is that a cloud across your smile or did you dream again last night
It’s best you rest inside a while as blue doesn’t seem to suit you right

Things ain’t what they used to be pain and rain and misery
Illness in the family and sunshine means a lot to me
I say sunshine

But could it be sunshine is drifting with midnight
And lonely when everyone’s gone
Blue crystal spirits and gardens in moonlight
Leave weak alone and bleak all quiet and grey by dawn

Sunshine sunshine
Rising to late to chase the cold and failing to change the frost to dew
She’s trading her mood of yellow gold for frost bitten shades of silver
Blue

Friends and lovers past and gone and no-one waiting further on
I’m running short of things to be and sunshine means quiet a lot to me
I say sunshine... sunshine
