George Harrison with Eric Clapton And Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
cnd I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
cnd I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
cnd 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 darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
cnd I say it's all right




Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Here Comes The Sun are a beautiful ode to the warmth and light that the sun brings after a long, cold winter. The repetitive nature of the song's chorus reinforces the idea that the sun will always come back, no matter how long the winter has been or how dark things may have seemed. The use of "little darling" throughout the song creates an intimate and personal tone, suggesting that the singer is addressing someone close to them and sharing their joy at the arrival of spring.


The first verse establishes the contrast between winter and summer, with the singer acknowledging the hardship and loneliness that the winter has brought. The second verse then emphasizes the return of joy and happiness as the sun comes back into their lives, with the "smiles returning to the faces" of those around them. The final verse uses the metaphor of melting ice to convey the gradual but steady return to clarity and light.


It's worth noting that George Harrison wrote this song during a particularly difficult time in his life. He was going through a tumultuous period with the Beatles, and was also dealing with personal issues like his wife's miscarriage and his own struggles with addiction. Despite these challenges, Here Comes The Sun is a testament to Harrison's resilience and ability to find hope and joy in the midst of hardship.
