MY SUNSHINE

[Verse 1]
Good morning, sunshine
I open my eyes just to find yours
Waitin’ for your light to fill the room
And baby, there you are—just like before
You rise so soft,
Just like the day we met
And once again...
You steal my breath away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Last night, I watched you drift to sleep
The world fell quiet, the dark ran deep
You kissed the night goodbye
Still, your glow stayed close to me

[Chorus]
You’re my sunshine
You don’t just light the sky
You light my soul, my reason why
Oh, you shine in ways the heavens never could
You’re my sunshine
Not just warmth upon my skin
You’re the fire I feel within
And once again...
You steal my breath away

[Verse 2]
You speak, and storms inside me fade
Your voice—a song I’d never trade
You move like poetry in time
And every word you say just rhymes
You change the air
With every step you take
And once again...
You steal my breath away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And when your eyes begin to close
It’s like the sky begins to glow
You kiss your man goodnight
And I still feel it in my soul

[Chorus 2]
You’re my sunshine
You don’t just light the day
You burn the dark, you lead the way
Oh, you shine in ways no star could ever do
You’re my sunshine
Not a flame that fades too fast
You’re the light that always lasts
And once again...
You steal my breath away

[Bridge]
Is it the sun, or is it you?
I lose track—the light feels true
One paints the skies in gold and blue
But only you can shine right through

[Final Chorus]
You’re my sunshine
You light the world and all I see
But most of all, you light in me
A fire so deep, it never slips away
Oh, you’re my sunshine
Almond eyes and island grace
Girl, I find my home in your embrace
And once again...
You steal my breath away

[Outro]
Yeah, you...
You’ll always be
My sunshine!
