Chris Sligh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause you're an angel and I am just a man
But I've been a better man since you got here
And life is better too 'cause my world revolves around you
Clouds are gone and skies are blue
There's nothing to bring us down, whoa
Things are looking sunny, things are looking sunny
Whoa, whoa
Things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny
Well, all of your skin looks good touching my skin
You're so pretty, I just fell in love again
It's love at each sight, over and over
My heels are over head, now it's me revolving round you
Clouds are gone and skies are blue
There's nothing to bring us down, whoa
Things are looking sunny, things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny since I found you
Whoa, whoa
Things are looking sunny
Everything's bright, everything's clean
Everything's like my favorite dream
'Cause my favorite dream is you
The turn of your head, the flick of your wrist
Everything about you, you don't need a list to know
My favorite dream is you, you, you, you, yeah
Things are looking sunny
(My favorite dream is you)
Things are looking sunny
Clouds are gone and skies are blue
There's nothing to bring us down, whoa
Things are looking sunny, things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny since I found you
Whoa, whoa
Things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny
