Raul Midón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Every day I wonder why
Peace on earth?s so hard to find
Real peace begins inside
In our hearts and in our minds
That one and all means you and me
And what we know can set us free
Rearrange reality
Reality is what we know
We can change a river?s flow
Plant a seed, watch it grow
Build a shelter, build a home
Home is where my heart will stay
Even when I'm far away
Makes no difference what they say
As long as you will be my
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
When I'm feeling sad and low
And I'm not sure where to go
And all the good times that I've known
Have gone and left me all alone
All alone I?ll never be
Long as you are here with me
You're in everything I see
And everything I'm doing
All I do I do for you
You're my sun, you're my moon
Every lazy afternoon
You're my inspiration
Inspiration lights the way
Brings a sparkle to each day
Makes the dark clouds go away
So, let us let the children play
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when I'm with you, babe

Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Music is the reason why
People laugh, people cry
Sing and dance and clap their hands
It?s how the whole world understands
Understands that we are one
Makes no difference what you've done
Or where you live under the sun
We are only human
Only human yes it?s true
Still the mystery is you
And the sky so clear and blue
Makes every day feel so brand new
Brand new day throughout the world
For all the little boys and girls
If everybody lends a hand
We can live together
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly
Sunshine when you're with me I can fly

I am convinced that: this man has 5 brains.
I have NEVER seen anyone perform music with this degree of simultaneously complex dexterity. Simply amazing.
@robertvillani8312
Best musician I have heard. Wonderful voice. Unbelievable control with all instruments. A true marvel. Should be well known. His message is so loving. I really do not know of a better man. I have been listening to this song consistently for the past 15 years or so.......................
@bretschwartz
How sad are the 112 people who gave this a thumbs down. Is there anyone on earth who can competently play anything close to this? This is just jaw dropping guitar mastery.
@tomtheeagle1
You dropped your drawers?
@TheFatController.
I bet a good portion of those were accidental dislikes..
