Walk Right Up To The Sun
The Delfonics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And then we'll
Walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
Walk right up to the sun
We won't fear anyone

I'll pull the moon
Out of the sky for you
If you promise me
A love that's true

I'll change the world
From old to new
Love was made just for two

And then we'll
Walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
Walk right up to the sun
We won't fear anyone

I'll take a rainbow
From the sky for you
If one's not good enough
I'll bring you two

I'll change the skies
From gray to blue
Love was made just for two

And then we'll
Walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
Walk right up to the sun
We won't fear anyone

Listen, baby

Change the world
From old to new
Love was made just for two

And then we'll
Walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
Walk right up to the sun
We won't fear

Walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
Walk right up to the sun
We won't fear





Walk right up to the sun

Major Harris and Wilbert Hart co-lead this. Anyone of the Delfonics could sing lead not just William (The Voice of the Delfonics). Great music from a great group during a great time for soul/r&B. Bravo!!!!

Neo Soul

The song was recorded on their fourth album and released in 1972. Randy Cain left the group in 1971. Major Harris took his place on this album 'Tell Me This is a Dream', which produced this song. The writers are listed as, songwriter Alan Felder and guitarist Norman Harris, not William Hart or Major Harris.
Peace to All !!!

Barron Ingram
