Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here comes the daylight, it's makin' me sad
Had a good time last night, the best I ever had
But here comes the daylight, it's makin' me sad
So sad, so sad, so sad, so sad
Here comes the daylight, now it's bringin' me down
It's causin' me heartache and spinnin' my head around
But here comes the daylight, so now it's the end
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, no no no, no (here comes the daylight, yeah)
(Here comes the daylight)
Ah, here comes the daybreak, it's bringin' me pain
It's causin' me heartache, I wish it would rain, yeah
Here comes the daylight, it's makin' me cough
It's causin' me heartache, it's kissin' me off
Have a good time last night, but then the moon slips
Now all that will save me is total eclipse
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, no no (here comes the daylight, yeah)
(Here comes the daylight)
It's causin' me heartache
(Here comes the daylight, yeah)
It's causin' me sufferin'
(Here comes the daylight, yeah) I wish it would rain
(Here comes the daylight, yeah) oh, I wish it would rain
(Here comes the daylight, yeah) it's causin' me heartache
(Here comes the daylight, yeah) oh, I wish it would rain
(Here comes the daylight, yeah) ah, it's bringin' me down
