AND the lyrics...

Sunny

Sunny, Yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, You smiled at me and really eased the pain
Now, the dark days are gone
And the bright days are here
My Sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny, one so true, I love you

Sunny, Thank you for the sunshine bouquet
Sunny, Thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel ten feet tall
Sunny, one so true, I love you

Sunny, Thank you for the truth you let me see
Sunny, Thank you for the facts from A to Z
My life was torn Like a wind-blown sand
And a rock was formed When you held my hand
Sunny, one so true, I love you

Sunny, Thank you for that smile upon your face
Sunny, Thank you, thank you for that gleam
that flows with grace
You're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny, one so true, yes, I love you

Repeat Verse 1
