Heavenly Sunshine

Lynn Anderson · Woman Lives for Love [Harmony] [1971]

(Glenn Sutton - George Richey)



I've search for words so many times that would best describe

The thrill it gives me just to have you at my side

But I can't find one single word that properly defines

How sweet it is just knowing that all your love is mine.



Your love is heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine

You fill my heart with your sweet love so devine

Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine

You make me happy 'cause your love is mine.



The colors in the rainbow are a lovely sight to see

But even rainbows lose their glow when you smiled at me

And when you kiss me I can hear a thousand bluebirds sing

And no matter how it sounds the words could only mean one thing.



Your love is heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine

You fill my heart with your sweet love so devine

Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine

You make me happy 'cause your love is mine...

Heavenly Sunshine
