Miss Sun
Toto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been thinking 'bout you all night
Guess you got me in a spell
But I think that I'l be all right
Even if I don't get well

Chorus:
Hey Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms

I can still remember
What you told me with your eyes
One kiss, now it's down to this
Guess it's time you realized

Chorus:
Hey Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms

Hey Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms

Hey Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you




But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms

How can you not appreciate the greatness of TOTO. Boz and the Average White Band did fabulous covers of this TOTO gift. David Paich is one hell of a songwriter, musician, performing artist, director and producer of music. He and TOTO transcends the generations.

Isaiah Bryant

As much as I like the demo, I think they made the right decision to give the song to Boz.

Nitram

I totally agree after listening to all 3 versions, AWB, Toto and Boz... Boz wins and it's not even close, in my humble ignorant opinion. Peace

Jimmy Johnston

This is currently my favorite Toto song! And I enjoy this version more than the Boz Scaggs version? MRS JOHNSON is my other favorite

THis sounds like it could have been a Bozz Scaggs song!

Paul Pierce

I couldn't agree more. It has Steely Dan and Boz all over it.

Karl Bismarck

fanmaxis3004 it was one! Released in 1980 but recorded in 1977. The Toto guys wrote it but it never featured on one of their original albums. The demo of it was featured on Toto XX in 1998

Paul Pierce

Not familiar with this tune, but it sure has the Dan vibe with regard to the progression anyway. Very cool piece of music.

nickavenoso78

This song was written by David Paich, but was recorded as a demo and was never released until XX in 1998. Boz Scaggs and David Paich then worked on the song and added some stuff and changed some lyrics, and released it.

You have apparently never heard of Box Scaggs, then
