Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One, two, three, uh-huh
[Verse 2]
Yo, yo
[Verse 3]
I wake up in the mornin' and it's six o' clock
They say there may be rain, but the sun is hot
I wish I had some time just to kill today
And I wish I had a dime for every bill I got to pay
Some days you lose, you win, and the waters as high as the times your in
So I jump back into where I learned to swim
Try to keep my head above it the best I can, that's why
[Verse 4]
Here I am just waitin' for this storm to pass me by
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
(Down, down, down) Hey hey hey, hey hey
[Verse 5]
One, two, three, uh-huh
[Verse 6]
I saw my friend Bobby he said, "What's up man?
You gotta a little work or a twenty to lend?"
I opened up my hand and he said, "I'm glad to see
They can take away my job but not my friends you see"
[Verse 7]
And here I am, just waitin' for this storm to pass me by (Pass me by)
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down (That's the sound)
(Yeah, yeah, here we go)
[Verse 8]
I want to go where the summer never ends
With my guitar on the beach with all my friends
The sun's so hot and the waves in motion
And everything smells like suntan lotion
The ocean and the girls so sweet, so kick off your shoes and relax your feet
They say that miracles are never ceasin'
And every single soul needs a little releasing
Stereo bumpin 'till the sun goes down
And I only want to hear that sound
[Verse 9]
That's the sound of sunshine (Of sunshine) coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
(Coming down, down, down)
And now I say you're the one, the one I want to be with (Yeah, yeah)
When the sun goes down (Uh-huh)
You're the one, the one I want to be with (The one I wanna be with)
When the sun goes down, sing
You're the one, the one I want to be with when the sun goes down
You're the one, the one I want to be with when the sun goes down
[Verse 10]
That's the sound (That's the sound) of sunshine (Of sunshine)
Coming down (Uh huh, uh huh)
That's the sound of sunshine coming down
(Hey, hey, hey) When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down
(Hey, hey) When the sun goes down
