Verse 1 Woke up this morning with the sun in my eyes, Golden light dancing across the sky. A cool breeze blowing through the trees, Makes an old soul smile with ease. I got no mansion, I got no crown, Still got reasons not to feel down. Every little moment, every little smile, Makes this whole ride worth the while. Chorus I've got sunshine on my side today, And all my worries slowly fade away. The world's still turning, the river still flows, How beautiful this life can be, nobody knows. I've got sunshine on my side today, And that's enough to light my way. Verse 2 Kids are laughing somewhere down the road, Butterflies dancing where the wild grass grows. A bird keeps singing like it's got good news, Even the sky ain't got no blues. Bridge I've seen thunder, I've seen rain, I've carried sorrow, I've carried pain. That's why these simple things shine so bright, Like diamonds in the morning light. Chorus I've got sunshine on my side today, And all my worries slowly fade away. The world's still turning, the river still flows, How beautiful this life can be, my heart now knows. Outro The sun on my face, the wind in my hair, A few good friends and a soul that cares. No need for more, no need to explain, I'm just smiling in the sunshine again.
