WAKE UP SUNSHINE
©1979 – music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle
I woke up early in the mornin’
Lookin’ for the sun to come through
Golden flowers with ripe young faces
Heaven filled with mornin’, mornin’ dew
I walked out early in the mornin’
Just when old rooster sent his call
Tellin’ me this was the mornin’
Just when old rooster sent his call
Tellin’ me this was the mornin’
Not to plan on sunshine at all
(Chorus:)
Wake up, wake up sunshine
Wake up, are you waitin’ for me
Can you understand
Why my whole life
Keeps passing me on by
Wake up, are you ready to love me
Oh, oh, oh
Why does my sunshine only shine a little while
Now I’m back at the beginning
Of this mornin’ that I woke up to
It seems love's circle is never ending
And sunshine has a hard time shinin’ through
(Chorus)
Sunshine of my life
Keep on shinin’, shinin’ down on me
Sunshine of my life
I hear the wind hummin’ this melody
(Chorus)
Keep on shinin’ sunshine
Keep on shinin’ sunshine
Keep on shinin’ sunshine of my life
