You say I’m your sunshine Then why am I not shining You call me sunshine While it’s cold between us The sun keeps rising Keeps shining Warming everything it touches I keep on trying Keep smiling Even as the distance crushes But sometimes she needs hiding from Always giving Always giving Eclipse me for a lifetime Even the sun needs resting I know my warmth follows everywhere I go You like the way it feels when you’re with me So does everyone I know You call me sunshine like it’s something sweet But lately it’s just burning me You open up your window Only when your sky goes gray You never check the forecast On my side of the day I glow on command On demand Til I’m empty in the evening You never see the shadows That I’m quietly believing But sometimes she needs hiding from Always giving Always giving Eclipse me for a lifetime Even the sun needs resting I know my warmth follows everywhere I go You like the way it feels when you’re with me So does everyone I know You call me sunshine like it’s something sweet But lately it’s just burning me What if I set What if I slipped Right out of your sky (oh) Would you still say my name Or just look for another light But sometimes she needs hiding from Always giving Always giving Eclipse me for a lifetime Even the sun needs resting I know my warmth follows everywhere I go You like the way it feels when you’re with me So does everyone I know You call me sunshine like it’s something sweet But lately it’s just burning me
