Lyrics

Hello sunshine
Will old darkness be my friend?
Hello sunshine
To this you can put an end
Hello sunshine
Why don't you please come around?
Hey there sunshine
Don't let me down
Hey there sunshine
Please come around
Hey there sunshine
My friend
Hey, hey, hey (Hey, hey, hey)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Hey, hey, hey (Hey, hey, hey)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Hello dark clouds
I don't want you round no more
Hello tear drops
Why don't you stay from my door
Hello troubles
I can't stand your face for sure
Hey there sunshine
Don't let me down
Hey there sunshine
Please come around
Hey there sunshine
My friend!
Hey, hey, hey (Hey, hey, hey)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Hey, hey, hey (Hey, hey, hey)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Hey, hey, hey (Hey, hey, hey)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Hello sunshine
Will old darkness be my friend?
Hello sunshine
To this you can put an end
Hello sunshine
Why don't you come around?
Hey there sunshine
Don't let me down
Hey there sunshine
Please come around
Hey there sunshine
My friend
Hey, hey, hey (Hey, hey, hey)
Oh yeah (Hello sunshine)
Sunshine, I need you (Hey, hey, hey)
I've gotta help you (Hello sunshine)
When I'm down now (Hey, hey, hey)
Said I need you (Hello sunshine)
Please come around now (Hey, hey, hey)
Hello sunshine (Hello sunshine)
Said I need you right now (Hey, hey, hey)
