Let the Sun Shine
Labrinth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel a cold flush going through my hair
And hey, you know what? I don't even care
The time has passed me by, it's gone with the wind
It's all because the sun shined once again
Now the party's on, everybody's there
Even if you don't know anyone, you'll still meet some new friends
That's the way it is, when I have myself a drink
All because the sun shined once again

Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine, baby
Let it all go
Let it all go, baby
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine, baby
Let it all go
Let it all go, baby

So turn the lights off, ain't no one afraid
When the night comes, it'll be just like the day
Even without the daylight, we're glowin' from within
All because the sun shined once again
So play that sweet tune, play it through the air
And the volume, raise it up
Don't you ask me twice, you know I'm gonna dance
All because the sun shined once again

So let the sun shine
Let the sun shine, baby
Let it all go
Let it all go, baby
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine, baby (let the sun shine)
Let it all go
Let it all go, baby

I know that the world is gonna smile again
When we go from the darkness into the light
Oh, whoa, whoa
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine

Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine, baby (let it all go)
Let it all go
Let it all go, baby (hey)
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine, baby
Let it all go
Just let it all go, baby
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine, baby (let the sun shine)
Let it all go
Let it all go, baby (let it all go)
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine, baby
Let it all go
Let it all go, baby (let the sun shine, yeah, yeah, a-yeah, uh)

It's so nice to have a male R&B singer who's not singing about sex, money, or clothes.

The nostalgia is strong in this song. This was like my summer 2011 song

@AcePronto123

Totally agree

@mads.sienna

As someone reading your comment 8 years later, I agree. I added this song to my MP3 player in 2012 and found my MP3 player on New Years Eve, which I haven’t used in 10 years and this came on when I tested it. All memories of summer 2012 came back and this makes me feel alive

@butters1249

THIS IS MY SONG!! I don't understand how such a talented artist has not got more recognition. He's a revelation in an industry full of talentless fools.

@benedictachiejine9207

I couldn’t agree more with you. It’s crazy the music industry
