  • One two three, uh huh
    Yo yo

    I wake up in the morning it's six 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've got to pay
    Some days you lose you win and the water's as high as the times your in
    So I jump back in there where I learned to swim
    Try to keep my head above it the 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
    (Down down down)

    One two three, uh huh

    I saw my friend Bobby I said "What's up man"
    You got a little work or 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, waiting for the storm to pass me by (Pass me by)
    And that's the sound of sunshine
    Coming down
    And that's the sound of sunshine
    Coming down

    Yo yo here we go

    I wanna go where the summer never ends
    With my guitar on the beach there with all my friends
    The suns so hot and the waves in motion
    And everything smells like sun tan lotion
    The ocean, and the girls so sweet
    So kick off your shoes and relax your feet
    They say that miracles are never seizing
    And every single soul needs a little releasing
    The stereo bumpin' 'til the sun goes down
    And I only wanna hear that sound

    And that's the sound of sunshine (of sunshine)
    Coming down
    And that's the sound of sunshine
    Coming down
    (Coming down down down)

    And I said you're the one I wanna be with (yo yo)
    When the sun goes down (uh huh)
    You're the one I wanna be with (I really wanna be with)
    When the sun goes down, singin' you're the one I wanna be with
    When the sun goes down
    You're the one I wanna be with
    When the sun goes

    That's the sound (that's the sound)
    Of sunshine (of sunshine)
    Coming down (uh huh, uh huh)
    And that's the sound of sunshine
    Coming down

    When the sun goes down
    When the sun goes down
