Here Comes the Sun
Brooke White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darlin' it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darlin' it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darlin' I feel the ice is slowly meltin'
Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been clear
Here come the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Here come the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right
The lyrics of Brooke White's version of Here Comes the Sun were originally written by George Harrison of The Beatles, and the song was released in 1969. The lyrics are a celebration of the arrival of spring and the end of a long, cold winter. Harrison uses the sun as a metaphor for hope and happiness, as it represents the light that can come after a period of darkness. Lines like "little darlin' it feels like years since it's been here" and "little darlin' I feel the ice is slowly meltin'" evoke a sense of relief and joy at the arrival of spring and the sun's warmth.
