Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
It's all right
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun




It's all right
It's all right

I can't believe this song is 50 years old. When it first heard it, it wasn't even 30 yet and George was still with us.

@IrisCrain

I'm pretty sure I heard it before I was born, my mom was a huge Beatles fan!!

@ELLIOT1311

I wasn’t born until 30 years after it was released.

@MissAstorDancer

It is truly hard to believe it's been 50 years! I was 16 years old, and bought the album as soon as it was released in the US. Abbey Road is my favorite album!
