SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS

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.

If I had a day that I could give you,
I’d give to you a day just like today.
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I’d sing a song to make you feel this way.

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.

If I had a tale that I could tell you,
I’d tell a tale sure to make you smile.
If I had a wish that I could wish for you,
I’d make a wish for sunshine all the while.

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.
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high.
Sunshine almost always.
