Heavenly Sunshine
Lynn Anderson · Woman Lives for Love [Harmony] [1971]
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...
