From the recording Sunshine (after the Rain)
Love, like fine wine, gets better with age. When my husband and I first got together, we had nicknames for each other. My nickname for him was "Sunshine". He found me in the middle of a very bad place in my life, and was the sunshine after the rain of that time. Our first date (wasn't a date) was the beginning of something I had longed for for my whole life. This version was remixed 9-3-22
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 surf on a perfect day
You’re all those things I shouldn’t say
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
Guitar Solo
Pre Chorus
You are Miles playing “Kind of Blue”
You’re the question to the answer 42
Chorus:
You are my Sunshine (after the rain)
My only Sunshine (after the rain)
Your smile is a rainbow
Breaking through my darkest day
Chorus:
You are my Sunshine (after the rain)
My only Sunshine (after the rain)
Your smile is a rainbow
Breaking through my darkest day
Chorus:
You are my Sunshine (after the rain)
My only Sunshine (after the rain)
Your smile is a rainbow
Breaking through my darkest day
