Sunshine

We met down at church, an unbreakable bond

Then the years slipped away and we drifted along

But God had a plan for the paths that we drew

He brought you right up to my house out the blue

Ever since then, we've been stuck like glue

I didn't give birth, but my daughter is you

Oh, Sunshine, you're beautiful, loving, and wise

With the biggest of hearts and a fire in your eyes

When the shadows get heavy and the good times are gone

Just remember, "This too shall pass," and hold on

You are stronger than you ever believe

Loved more than you'll ever know

On your darkest of days, through the heartache and pain

My Sunshine comes after the rain

I smile when I think of that late-night call

We talked on the phone about nothing at all

Till I drifted off and I started to snore

I guess that I couldn't stay up anymore

And I'll never forget when you and Gary stayed

He put on your blue jeans by mistake that day

He said, "What's so funny?" while strutting around

We laughed till we cried and we fell to the ground

Oh, Sunshine, you're beautiful, loving, and wise

With the biggest of hearts and a fire in your eyes

When the shadows get heavy and the good times are gone

Just remember, "This too shall pass," and hold on

You are stronger than you ever believe

Loved more than you'll ever know

On your darkest of days, through the heartache and pain

My Sunshine comes after the rain

You never give up, you're faithful and true

There's a persistent spirit alive inside you

Always giving so much, always caring so deep

You're the family I chose and the treasure I keep

Oh, Sunshine, you're beautiful, loving, and wise

With the biggest of hearts and a fire in your eyes

When the shadows get heavy and the good times are gone

Just remember, "This too shall pass," and hold on

You are stronger than you ever believe

Loved more than you'll ever know

On your darkest of days, through the heartache and pain

My Sunshine comes after the rain

Yeah, you'll always be my Sunshine after the rain
