Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I found you, oh, baby
I found sunshine
When I found you, oh, baby
Living my way alone in the dark
Nights were dreary
Raining every day
I got down on my knees
And I prayed
That someone just like you
Would come my way
You put me in Heaven
Your loving in the moonlight
You're sweet as candy
Tender as roses
You took the teardrops
Took them away
Today I need you, baby
Baby, day by day by day
I found sunshine
When I found you, oh, baby
I found sunshine
When I found you, oh, baby
Whether I'm one of the many
Or one of the few?
Ain't nobody gonna stop me
From loving you
You'll become the
Only one in my life
You touched me and
Then I saw the light
You put me in Heaven
Your loving in the moonlight
You're sweet as candy
Tender as roses
You took the teardrops
Took them away
Yeah, I need you, baby
Baby, day by day by day
I found sunshine
When I found you
I found sunshine
When I found you, oh, baby
I found sunshine
When I found you, oh, baby
I found sunshine
When I found you, oh, baby
I found sunshine
When I found you, oh, baby

I just heard this song for the first time tonight. It was playing on an advert in the UK for a company called Onthebeach. It just so happens that I have used their company several times to book my holidays - the most recent trip being just this week. Really cool song, I'm surprised I haven't heard it before 😊

Jacinta101 You are probably too young lol! I heard it from the same advert and looked it up. The last time I heard it was around 1972

Same story for me, although I do look up many 70s songs.

The Chi-lites are so underrated! This is just one of the many jams that showcased Eugene's writing, the group's singing, great arrangements and of course excellent musicians. I wish I could have been in on their sessions, but I was just a kid dancing to their music and singing along.

This classic reminds me of my mother. Connie Gunn she was truly soulful. R. I. P. Momma thanks for putting this song on repeat and as a kid I learned it. Great memories
Huck Barry
So Underrated! Chicago soul was overlooked should be right up there with Memphis soul, Motown, and Philly!

~ 1973 GREAT YEAR FROM the Chi-Lites and everyone else at the time for fine R&B and proto,PRE-disco. This album is iconic. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
