Sunlight: a razzle-dazzle kind of glamour in the sky |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
No more than just the glimmer of a star nearby and bright |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
I've seen it turn the trick a thousand times |Bb / / / |Eb / / / |
and send the millions wild with joy |Dm / / / |Dm / / / |
Whereas for me it's just a toy |Cm / / / |Cm / / / |
that flying horses dragged up from the sea |A7 / / / |A7 / / / |
Sunrise, how little thought it takes, how little time it leaves |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
Not long before she wakes to dress and then she leaves your eyes |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
For very soon the sun will come for her |Bb / / / |Eb / / / |
and it will carry her from you |Dm / / / |Dm / / / |
It's seen too many men like you |Cm / / / |Cm / / / |
to care how soon it chooses to arise |A7 / / / |A7 / / / |
Sunshine already seems as if it's moving in to stay |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
Smiling the wide and steady smile that says "The day is mine" |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
How many clever men have called the sun |Bb / / / |Eb / / / |
a fool before today |Dm / / / |Dm / / / |
"O unruly sun" they say |Cm / / / |Cm / / / |
"for stepping in to take my love away" |A7 / / / |A7 / / / |
Sunlight; it's time to make a move, it's time to rise and shine |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
Sunrise, shaking your shoulder murmurs "Everything looks fine" |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
And takes your love away |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
(fade) |Dm / / / |F / / / |Bb / / / |A7 / / / |
