Lyrics
[VRS 1]
WHEN THE NIGHTS GETS COLD AND LONELY AND THE MOON IS HIGH,
I'VE GOT THE WARMTH OF SUNSHINE LYING BY MY SIDE
WHEN THE WORLD SEEMS SO WRONG YOU ALWAYS MAKE THINGS RIGHT
YOU'RE MY SUNSHINE, MY SUNSHINE AT MIDNIGHT
[CHO]
TOGETHER IN A PARADISE, THAT'S MEANT FOR TWO,
YOUR SUNSHINE ALWAYS WANTS ME, AND I NEED THE THINGS YOU DO
GOLD RAYS OF PASSION SHINNING DOWN FROM THE EVENING SKY
YOU'RE MY SUNSHINE, MY SUNSHINE AT MIDNIGHT
[VRS 2]
MY SUNSHINE, YOU'RE THE GIRL WHO CAME TO STAY
THRILLING EVERY PART OF ME IN EVERY WAY
YOU'RE THE ANGEL IN MY ARMS, I LIVE TO HOLD TIGHT
YOU'RE MY SUNSHINE, MY SUNSHINE AT MIDNIGHT
[CHO]
TOGETHER IN A PARADISE, THAT'S MEANT FOR TWO,
YOUR SUNSHINE ALWAYS WANTS ME, AND I NEED THE THINGS YOU DO
GOLD RAYS OF PASSION SHINNING DOWN FROM THE EVENING SKY
YOU'RE MY SUNSHINE, MY SUNSHINE AT MIDNIGHT
YOU TAKE MY DARKNESS AND TURN IT INTO LIGHT
YOUR MY SUNSHINE MY SUNSHINE AT MIDNIGHT
YOUR MY SUNSHINE MY SUNSHINE AT MIDNIGHT
