Lyrics
1966 - Bobby Hebb Sunny Yesterday my life was filled with rain Sunny You smiled at me and really eased the pain The dark days are gone and the bright days are here My sunny one shines so sincere Sunny, one so true I love you Sunny Thank you for the sunshine bouquet Sunny Thank you for the love you've brought my way You gave to me, your all and all And now I feel ten feet tall Sunny, one so true I love you Sunny Thank you for the truth you let me see Sunny Thank you for the facts from A to Z My life was torn like the wind-blown sand And a rock was formed when you held my hand Sunny, one so true I love you Sunny Sunny Thank you for that smile upon your face Sunny Thank you for that gleam that shows disgrace You're my part of nature's fire You're my sweet complete desire Sunny, one so true I love you Sunny Yesterday my life was filled with rain Sunny You smiled at me and really eased the pain The dark days are gone and the bright days are here My sunny one shines so sincere Sunny, one so true I love you
