I woke up late this morning, the sun shone through my room.
The way that it lit my soul up, well my heart it just went boom.
And then I realised something I should've known before, 
It wasn't just the sunshine that kept me pushing on for more.

It's you when you're near me.
It's you making the sun oh seem so plain.

When I hold you it lights up my insides
And knowing that you love me, you are my sunshine.

There'll be no more lying in a bed on my own, 
No more waiting for you by the telephone.
There'll be no more crying spending my nights alone
Wondering if my baby's ever going to come home.

It's you when you're near me.
It's you making the sun oh seem so plain.

So I, I want to thank you.
That's why I'm singing this song for you.

When I hold you it lights up my insides
And knowing that you love me, you are my sunshine.

When I hold you I feel the warmth inside
And knowing that you love me, you are my sunshine.

When I hold you it lights up my insides
And knowing that you love me, you are my sunshine.
