I woke up this morning and all of a sudden
It started to rain and then it was pouring
Why'd it have to start like this, don't you understand that my eyes tend to match with the skies
I'm just gonna close the shades and say goodbye to gloomy days

I gotta have sunlight (oh)
To call the day a day
I gotta have something bright (oh)
Even if it's not a sunray
I gotta have sunlight (oh)
Looks like he's not coming out today
It'll be okay
I'll light the way

Since I decided to use my highlighter
I've seen frowns turn upside down, the streets have been a little bit brighter
Why can't we all be like this, don't you understand if Mr. Sun, if he wants to run
Well we look better without shades on our faces anyway

I gotta have sunlight (oh)
To call the day a day
I gotta have something bright (oh)
Even if it's not a sunray
I gotta have sunlight (oh)
Looks like he's not coming out today
It'll be okay
I'll light the way

I'll light the way if they all take a raincheck and disappear for a while
I'll hold the light in the dark you can bet my smile on it, smile smile on it
Smile on it

I gotta have sunlight (oh)
To call the day a day
I gotta have something bright (oh)
Even if it's not a sunray
I gotta have sunlight (oh)
To call the day a day
I gotta have something bright (oh)
Even if it's not a sunray
I gotta have sunlight (oh)
Looks like he's not coming out today
It'll be okay
I'll light the way
I gotta have sunlight (oh)
Looks like he's not coming out today
It'll be okay
I'll light the way
