My Sunshine

You are the sunshine that brightens my path
You are the sun in my sky;
Without you there'd never be sunshine
And happiness would always pass me by.

I'd walk in the darkness, as if in a cloud
Without you beside me, my Dear;
And nights would be lonely and cold all the time
But with you, there's nothing to fear.

I'd never be able to find my way home
Without you to guide me each day;
I'd be like a lost ship adrift on the sea
But you help me each step of the way.

You are the starlight that shines in the night
You make me so glad when I'm blue;
My life would be empty for ever, I know,
My Dear, if it wasn't for you.

You shine like a beacon so deep in my heart
You will light up my days till I die;
For you are the sunshine that brightens my path,
And you are the sun in my sky.
