Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lazy old sun
What have you done to summertime?
Hiding away
Behind all those misty thunder clouds
I don't mind
To spend my time
Looking for you
For you are my one reality
When I'm dead and gone
Your light will shine eternally
Sunny ray, shine my way
[Verse 2]
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun
You make the rainbows, and you make the night disappear
You melt the frost, so I won't criticize, my sun
[Verse 3]
When I was young
My world was three foot, seven inch tall
When you were young
There was no world at all
Sunny ray, shine my way
[Verse 4]
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun
[Verse 5]
Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
