Schuyler Fisk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was lost before,
Now I've found everything I'm looking for,
And every step I take,
Turns everything to color, where everything was gray,
'Cause I can say
When I see you, I'm smiling on the inside,
'Cause everything is alright,
You are my sunshine, sunshine
Rain, rain's gone away,
There's nothing here but blue skies every day,
Lucky, lucky me,
If only everyone could feel so weak in the knees,
We'd all be happy
You got me, I got you on my mind,
When I see you, I'm smiling on the inside,
'Cause everything is alright,
You are my sunshine, sunshine
Oh, you are so far from what I had,
Sunshine, sunshine,
And I never thought that I could feel this
You got me, I got you on my mind,
When I see you, I'm smiling on the inside,
'Cause everything is alright,
Never thought I'd feel this fine
You got me, I got you on my mind,
When I see you, I'm smiling on the inside,
'Cause everything is alright,
Never thought I'd feel this fine,
You are my sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
