Lyrics

Sunshine
On my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes
Can make me cry
Sunshine on the water
Looks so lovely
Sunshine
Almost always makes me high
If I had a day
That I could give you
I'd give to you
The day just like today
If I had a song
That I could sing for you
I'd sing a song
To make you feel this way
Sunshine
On my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes
Can make me cry
Sunshine on the water
Looks so lovely
Sunshine
Almost always makes me high
If I had a tale
That I could tell you
I'd tell a tale
Sure to make you smile
If I had a wish
That I could wish for you
I'd make a wish
For sunshine for all the while
Sunshine
On my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes
Can make me cry
Sunshine on the water
Looks so lovely
Sunshine
Almost always makes me high
Sunshine
Almost all the time makes me high
Sunshine
Almost always....
