I wrote this for my husband to celebrate our many years together. This version has an alternate chorus and one alternate "quip" that he didn't like and made me change for the official release :-)
Lyrics
Should we have seen this coming? should we have known?
Of all the planets in your orbit, could you feel my draw?
Was it you that found me, or the other way ‘round?
That first date—that wasn’t a date, I don’t know what you saw
Pre chorus
You’re the prize in the cereal box
You’re the center of my tootsie pop
Now we have been together for quite some time.
All the changes we’ve gone through in our shared life
Only cause me to love you, love you more and more
More today than yesterday and all the days before
Pre chorus
You're the hook from a killer song
You're a hit from my favorite bong
Chorus:
You are my Sunshine (after the rain)
My only Sunshine (after the rain)
Your smile is a rainbow
Breaking through my darkest day
When the world seems against me, I think of that smile
And that spark of mischief that lives in your eyes
When I’m with you, I’m happy; you always make me laugh
My love, I am honored to be your other half
Pre Chorus
You’re Shakira when she shakes her hips
You’re this pithy, clever little quip
Chorus:
You are my Sunshine (after the rain)
My only Sunshine (after the rain)
Your smile is a rainbow
Breaking through my darkest day
