Mr. Sunshine
Satellite Party Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And it's true that I do fantasize about you
Last night made me feel as real as the forces of nature
Calling me yours eternally
Your bona fide lover, you're changing my hard life forever

Good morning Mr. Sunshine
You brighten up my day

When morning bells ring and the souls are recalled
Returning to the earth back to their mortal coils
I'm still savoring your sweet flavor
Stay with me, dear, until last night's [Incomprehensible]

Good morning Mr. Sunshine
You brighten up my day

We felt enough overnight
We felt enough overnight
Falling head over heels
What will this new day reveal?

Good morning Mr. Sunshine
You brighten up my day
You brighten up my day

When morning bells ring and the souls are recalled
Returning to the earth back to their mortal coils
I'm still savoring your sweet flavor
Stay with me, dear, until last night's [Incomprehensible]

But it's true that I do fantasize about you
Last night made me feel as real as the forces of nature

Calling me yours eternal
Bona fide lover, let's spend the night together
