Lyrics

The first time, I laid eyes on you
I knew I had to have you girl, for myself
You see the sun started to shine
In the mind, my heart felt like
Like a bird in flight, soaring across the blue skies
Now I'm standing in a crowd
Filled and all alone, calls are gone
I never really knew, why you left
I did my best, but I must had failed you someway
Sunshine
I need my sunshine
Girl, since you when away
I haven't seen the light of day
And I'm feeling down
I wanna know who say
That a man ain't supposed to cry, tell me why
Are these feelings not real
Must they always be concealed
I do feel I searched the streets desperately
Hoping and praying
That you'll be home soon sunshine
Girl I really got it bad, I swear
The room, the bed
Where you used to lay your head, is empty
There's nothing left, nothing but your memory
I need you so sunshine
I need my sunshine
Girl, you turned my blue skies gray
Ooh, when you went away
And all I can say is
I'm feeling down
'Cause my sunshine ain't around
There won't be but three seasons this year
Winter, spring and fall, winter, spring and fall (That's all)
Everybody knows, for sure
That our summer just ain't summer, oh Lord
Summer just ain't summer without
Sunshine
I need my sunshine
Words could never express
The loneliness I've experienced
Since you left
Wanna say I'm feeling down
Said I'm feeling down
'Cause my sunshine ain't around
(I'm feeling down)
