Lyrics

Hello, sunshine (Hello)
So glad to see ya, sunshine
Hello, sunshine (Hello)
It's been dark for a very long time
I can't explain what I've been through (No, no)
Trying to live my life without you
People say I act so strange (Oh, yeah)
But you got the power to make me change
Hello, sunshine (Hello)
I'm so glad to see you, sunshine
Hello, sunshine (Hello)
It's been dark for a very long time
Without you, sunshine (Without you, sunshine)
The world is such a lonely place (Oh, yeah)
And without you, sunshine (Without you, sunshine)
My heart was filled with an empty space (Oh, yeah)
Without you, sunshine (Without you, sunshine)
The wind and the rain (Oh, yeah)
The wonders of spring
Don't mean a thing
Without you, baby
Without you, baby
Without you, baby
Without you, baby (Without you)
Now I know everything is alright (You know)
No more pain, no more sleepless nights (Oh, yeah)
My days were dark, but now I see (Oh, yeah)
Because my sunshine has come home to me
Without you, sunshine (Without you, sunshine)
The world is such a lonely place (Oh, yeah)
And without you, sunshine (Without you, sunshine)
My heart was filled with an empty space (Oh, yeah)
Without you, sunshine (Without you, sunshine)
The wind and the rain (Oh, yeah)
It don't mean a thing
(Don't mean a thing)
The wonders of spring
(Don't mean a thing)
Oh, without you, baby
(Don't mean a thing)
Without you, baby (Without you, sunshine)
Oh, without you, baby (Oh, yeah)
Oh, without you, baby (Without you, sunshine)
Oh, without you, baby (Oh, yeah)
