Bring on the Sunshine
Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee
I've been blinded, by my feelings
Self pity and sorrow was all I could see
Tears I was crying
Kept me from seeing, I didn't love
That man as much as he loved me
Looking for excuses and other reasons
To keep myself in a constant doubt
After all my searching and undo hurting
I nearly lost the only good thing I ever found.
Bring on the sunshine
Take away the rain
Bring on the sunshine
My baby's coming home again
Take away the grey skies
Hello love of mine
Happy days are coming my way
Bring on the sunshine.
No more sorrow is going to find me
I have made my last mistake
And once I get him, right here beside me
I'm gonna give him all the love he'd care to take.
Bring on the sunshine
Take away the rain
Bring on the sunshine
My baby's coming home again
Take away the grey skies
Hello love of mine
Happy days are coming my way
Bring on the sunshine.
Bring on the sunshine
Take away the rain
Bring on the sunshine
My baby's coming home again
Take away the grey skies
Hello love of mine
Happy days are coming my way
Bring on the sunshine.
Bring on the sunshine
Take away the rain
Bring on the sunshine
My baby's coming home again
Take away the grey skies
Hello love of mine
Happy days are coming my way
Bring on the sunshine...
