Please Mr. Sun
Tommy Edwards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Speak to her, Mr. Rainbow
And take her under your branches, Mr. Tree
Whisper to her, Mr. Wind
Sing to her, Mr. Robin
And Mrs. Moonlight, put in a word for me
It shouldn't end this way
Since you are all her friends
She'll listen to whatever you have to say
Babble to her, Mr. Brook
Kiss her for me, Miss Raindrop
And watch to see they all do, please Mr. Sun
Babble to her, Mr. Brook
Kiss her for me, Miss Raindrop
And watch to see they all do, please Mr. Sun
The lyrics to Tommy Edwards's song Please Mr. Sun are a plea to nature to speak to a woman on behalf of the singer. The song is essentially a love letter to nature, personifying its various elements and enlisting their help to win over the subject of the singer's affection. The opening lines, "Talk to her please, Mr. Sun/Speak to her, Mr. Rainbow/And take her under your branches, Mr. Tree," ask the natural world to intervene on the singer's behalf, as though it holds sway over the woman's heart. The following lines continue in the same vein, with the singer appealing to the wind, the robin, and even the moonlight to intercede for him.
The bridge of the song takes a more direct approach, with the singer addressing the listener directly: "Tell her how I feel/It shouldn't end this way/Since you are all her friends/She'll listen to whatever you have to say." Here, the plea is not just to the powers of nature, but to the woman herself, in the hopes that the message will reach her somehow. Finally, the song returns to its initial appeal, with the singer asking the brook and the raindrop to kiss the woman and enlisting the sun to watch over them all.
Taken as a whole, the song speaks to the power of nature to touch our hearts and inspire our emotions. It suggests that even in the face of unrequited love, there is solace to be found in the world around us, and that sometimes it takes a little help from Mother Nature to make a connection.

I'm old enough to be retired, but not from this great voice that takes me back to my prom date in high school, holding my gal in my arms as we danced, and being on top of the world, if only for the evening.

@jerry n. We all have those great school dance memories...the love songs so pure and sweet....but I always hated to hear " Goodnight Sweetheart"
That meant the magical evening was over. Wanted it to never end. 💞

One of the most beautiful songs ever. Tommy Edwards had a gorgeous voice. No one could have sung this song the way he did. Thank you for posting this.

I believe that this fellow had probably the finest and purest voice of his generation. What a shame that he had to go so soon and we won't hear any more from him.
Nancy Wood
Only on vinyl and CDs. Thank God they are still being played.
