Lyrics
(arr. by Scott Simpson, with original music and lyrics for Sunshine on my Shoulders by
John Denver)
Sun is shining down, sun is shining down...
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy,
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry,
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely,
Sunshine almost always makes me high.
Sun is shining down, sun is shining down...
If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give a day just like today,
And if I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way.
If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile,
And if I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while.
Sun is shining down, sun is shining down...
Sun is shining down, sun is shining down...
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy,
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry,
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely,
Sunshine almost always makes me high.
Sun is shining down, sun is shining down...
Sun is shining down, sun is shining down...
