Sunny Days
Sam Signaoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bringing glad times and new-found friends
Mid-day showers quench the flowers
Keeps the grass green so we can play
And make love on a sunny day
No noises around us, not a building for miles
No smokestacks or soot to get in your eyes
Soft wind is blowing through the trees
A prettier sound there could never be
Hey Mister Groundhog, how are you doing
Hey little beaver block up that stream
Look at the robin feeding her young'uns
And the old black bear reaching into a hive
He got his honey but I pity his hide
Sunny days coming back again
Bringing glad times and new-found friends
Bringing green fields and skies of blue
And all of God's things running and flying around you
Too doo doo do do too doo doo
Hey Mister Groundhog, how are you doing
Hey little beaver block up that stream
Look at the robin feeding her young'uns
And the old black bear reaching into a hive
He got his honey but I pity his hide
Summertime summertime summertime summertime
Summertime summertime, it's summertime
Summertime summertime summertime summertime
Summertime summertime, it's summertime
It's summertime
Sam Signaoff's "Sunny Days" is a reflective song that paints images of the arrival of happiness and prosperity. The opening lines suggest the return of sunny days with its accompanying pleasures of shared joyful moments and making new friends. The songs acknowledge the ironic beauty of mid-day showers that are necessary for quenching the flowers and ultimately keeping the grass green for everyone to play. The singer invokes love to emphasize the upbeat tone of the song.
The second verse shows the picture of an isolated natural peaceful environment, away from civilization, without the distraction of hustle and bustle of a city. The lyrics paint a serene scene, where rivers flow freely, wind blows softly and trees rustle in response, setting an atmosphere of pure bliss. The chorus repeats the fact that happiness comes with the sun-filled days, that bring sceneries of blue skies, green fields, and the beauty of nature around us.
The song's bridge brings back the beauty of nature with a focus on specific animals like groundhogs, beavers, robins, and black bears. It also subtly addresses the beauty of each organism's role in nature, such as the beaver blocking up a stream and the old black bear reaching into a hive of honey. In a natural environment, it is understood that everything exists, and everyone tries to work with or around each other to survive.
