Sunshine On My Shoulders Lyrics

Artist: John Denver

SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS
John Denver
Words by John Denver; Music by John Denver, Mike Taylor and Dick Kniss

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you the day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high

There is something about this song. It's simple, but there is something important here.

I don't know why... I remember this song when I'm happy, and also when I'm sad.

this song always makes me so sad, because my dad sang it for me when i was little, and he is no longer with us

This song also makes me sad. I chose it for my dad for his funeral a week ago. Lyrics & melody so simple yet reflecting so much about life. John Denvers voice is impeccable.....
