Sunshine Sunshine

Words and music by James Taylor from his 1969 album "James Taylor." [Intro]          [Verse 1] Sounds of laughter here comes sunshine Smiling faces all around They possess you bless you sunshine Now you can never let them down I say sunshine [Chorus] Sunshine sunshine               is that a cloud across your smile Or did you dream     again last night? It’s best you rest inside a while    As blue doesn’t seem to suit you right                  [Verse 2] Things ain’t what they used to be I say pain and rain misery Illness in the family   And sunshine means a lot to me I say sunshine [Verse 3] But could it be sunshine is drifting with midnight And lonely when everyone’s gone?     Blue crystal spirits and gardens in moonlight Leave weak alone and bleak all quiet and grey by dawn [Chorus] Sunshine sunshine                rising too late to chase the cold And failing to       change the frost to dew She’s trading her mood of yellow gold For frostbitten shades of silver-blue                  [Verse 5] Friends and lovers past and gone Lord And no one waiting further on I’m running short of things to be And sunshine means quite a lot to me I say sunshine Whoa sunshine
