Sunny
Yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny
You smiled at me and really eased the pain
Now the dark days are done, and the bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you
Sunny
Thank you for the sunshine bouquet
Sunny
Thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel ten feet tall
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny
Thank you for the truth you let me see
Sunny
Thank you for the facts from A to Z
My life was torn like wind-blown sand
And a rock was formed when you held my hand (oh, sunny)
Sunny one so true, I love you

Sunny
Thank you for the smile upon your face
Hmm, Sunny
Thank you, thank you for the gleam that flows with grace
You're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny, one so true, yes, I love you

Sunny
Yesterday, all my life was filled with rain
Sunny
You smiled at me and really-really eased the pain
Now the dark days are done, and the bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere (Sunny)
Sunny, one so true, I love you
I love you (sunny)
I love you (sunny)




Signin' I love you (sunny)
Yes, I love you (sunny)

i was 2 years old at the time, when this song hit the radio, and billboard's hot top 10 soul records for 66, and to this very day , like back then, it means a great deal to me, and has haunted me , {in a good way} all these years ,
as the mid 60's were so precious to me , as all of those of my family where alive and well, and we always enjoyed one another's company.... mainly the adults; as good food, good conversation , and good drinks, were the
thing, at that time.... it's now 2018, and the 60's ,
are just a memory, and all of the ones i have ever
loved and cherished, that celebrate life .......
are gone ........... i only have the music now, and songs such
as this one, to fill what were precious years .......
not sadness, not really.... just good memories, of a
time, and the music, which defined my life .....
rest in peace Bobby; we're
touched by your musical genius, and the
wonderful memories, you've left us with ......

Who's here simply because this song is beautiful?

@sevintrix2962

Written by Bobby Hebb after his brother was stabbed to death. Bobby
wrote this song in tears and was inspired to "look at the bright side"
despite his obvious pain at losing his brother.

3 years ago I picked up my orange tabby kitten from the shelter. On our way home I asked this fluffy ball of sunshine, “what is your name?” And at that second this song came on the radio. Sunny was as smart as a dog and had the heart of an angel, befriending every animal and human he ever came into contact with. He ended up having some heart issues despite being energetic and full of life. Today he passed away to the other side and I buried his body on top of a mountain. Thank you God for all the time we had and I picture Bobby Hebb and Sunny together smiling on this summer day. Life is short, appreciate the time we have with our loved ones. Inshallah we will be together again in the garden of paradise. Peace be upon you.
