More Than Sunshine Everybody hears the melody And thinks it's just a happy tune A little light for a cloudy day A whistle underneath the moon But underneath the smiling chorus There's another story hiding there A heart that's found a precious treasure And trembles when it's not there You are my sunshine my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You're more than sunshine in the morning More than blue skies after rain You're the reason ordinary moments Feel like gold instead of pain It's not just joy I'm singing about It's the chance that you might leave The sweetest songs are often written By hearts that still believe Love can make a person grateful Love can make a person weak Love can turn a whisper into thunder And make the strongest knees go weak We all have someone we're holding onto Something we don't want to lose A dream, a friend, a faithful partner A light we never want to lose You are my sunshine my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You're more than sunshine in the morning More than blue skies after rain You're the reason ordinary moments Feel like gold instead of pain It's not just joy I'm singing about It's the chance that you might leave The sweetest songs are often written By hearts that still believe Maybe that's the secret hidden Inside every timeless melody The fear of loss and hope together Living in perfect harmony The laughter and the tears are neighbors The mountain stands beside the sea The things we love the most in life Are never guaranteed Oh-oh-oh... That's why we hold on Oh-oh-oh... That's why we sing along Oh-oh-oh... Not because forever's promised But because this moment belongs You're more than sunshine in the morning More than comfort in the night You're a reminder every heartbeat Is a gift, a borrowed light It's not just joy I'm singing about It's gratitude and vulnerability The songs that last for generations Tell the truth of humanity You are my sunshine my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
