Walkin' in the sunshine

どうしても顔が見たくて電車に乗った
休日の午後はなんだか空気がやさしい
揺られ揺れる陽射しの中で
想い描くふたりの未来
自動式の改札を抜けて
キミはいつも通りに『遅れてゴメン』

Baby, walkin' in the Sunday sunshine もっと愛を込めて
Baby, walkin' in the Sunday sunshine ギュッと肩を抱いて
新しい空気を深く呼吸したなら
どこまでだって歩いてゆけるきっと

ぼんやりとガラスに映る自分の姿
週の始まりはなんだかとにかく忙しい
零れ落ちる記憶の中で
胸に残る暖かい場所
いつまでも大切にしたい
キミと久しぶりに一緒に帰ろう

Baby, dancin' in the Monday moonlight もっと愛を込めて
Baby, dancin' in the Monday moonlight そっとキス重ねて
懐かしいほどのときめき感じたなら
このままふたり夢見るようにずっと

Baby, walkin' in the Sunday sunshine
Walkin' in the Sunday sunshine
Dancin' in the Monday moonlight
Dancin' in the Monday moonlight
Walkin' in the Sunday sunshine
Walkin' in the Sunday sunshine
Dancin' in the Monday moonlight
Dancin' in the Monday moonlight

幸せの靴音がひびくそして世界中が光り輝く

Baby, walkin' in the Sunday sunshine もっと愛を込めて
Baby, walkin' in the Sunday sunshine ギュッと肩を抱いて
新しい空気を深く呼吸したなら
どこまでだって歩いてゆける
このままふたり夢見るようにずっと

Walkin' in the Sunday sunshine
Walkin' in the Sunday sunshine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MISIA's song "Sunny Day" describe the joy of spending time with someone you love, taking in the simple pleasures of life, and cherishing each moment. The singer longs to see their loved one so much that they take a train to meet them on their day off. They feel the warm, gentle air of the afternoon and envision a future together. They pass through the turnstile and the loved one apologizes for being late, but the singer only feels happiness to be in their presence.

The second verse shows the singer reflecting on the past week and how busy it was. Despite the chaos and stress, they hold onto fond memories with their loved one, the comfortable feeling of being together. They see their reflection in the glass and understand that they are happy with themselves and their life. They suggest they go home together after a long time apart, maybe take a walk, and dance in the moonlight, sharing a kiss filled with nostalgia.

The chorus repeats thrice, emphasizing the joy of walking in the sunshine on a Sunday and dancing in the moonlight on a Monday. The song ends with the sound of their footsteps echoing as they walk in the sunshine, the world shining brightly, and they can go anywhere as long as they have each other.
