    (1, 2, 3)
    I wake up in the morning and it's 6 o'clock.
    They say there may be rain but the sun is hot.
    I wish I had some time just to kill today,
    And I wish I had a dime for every bill I had to pay.
    Some days you lose you win and the water's as high as the times your in.
    So I jump back into where I learn to swim.
    Try to keep my head above it as best I can.
    That's why;
    Here I am,
    Just waiting for this storm to pass me by.
    And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
    And that's the sound of sunshine coming down...
    (Aye, aye, ayeehey...)
    I saw my friend Bobby he said, "What's up man?
    You gotta little work or a twenty to lend?"
    I opened up my hand
    He said I'm glad to see, they can take away my job but not my friends you see.
    And here I am just waiting for this storm to pass me by.
    And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
    And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
    (Here we go)
    I want to go where the sun will never end
    With my guitar on the beach there with all my friends
    The sun so hot and the waves in motion and everything smells like suntan lotion, the ocean, and the girls so sweet
    So kick off your shoes and relax your feet
    They say that miracles are never ceasin', and every single soul needs a little releasin'
    The stereo bumpin' till the sun goes down, and I only want to hear that sound
    And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
    And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
    And now say
    You're the one I want to be with, when the sun goes down.
    You're the one I want to be with, when the sun goes down
    Sing;
    You're the one I want to be with when the sun goes down.
    You're the one I want to be with when the sun goes
    That's the sound of sunshine coming down
    And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
    (Aye, aye aye, Ha, aye aye)

    I Love this song!!! It's being added to my Happy Song favorites! You're giving "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz some stiff competition for #1 spot!

    I had never heard of him before Wanee. I was walking through the field after the Dirty Dozen show and heard these sweet tunes coming from them and I just had to stop. I'm definitely a fan now.
