Sunshine Lyrics

You`re the sweetest thing I know
You dim the rainbow`s glow
There`s no power on this Earth
To seperate us, baby

'Cause you are my Sunshine
You are mine, all mine

When it rains on my parade
You were there to light the way
You`re rare as a rose in winter
You`re more, more than I deserve

You are my sunshine
You brighten up my darkest day
You are mine, all mine
Baby, it`s you

Words like darling
Sweetheart, forever
Girl, it's you I`ll always adore
They only say I love you
But you mean so much more

'Cause you are my sunshine
You`re my sunshine, sunshine
Baby, baby, you are mine
You`re mine, all mine

Hey, you
You`re my sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine

You`re everything
I gotta love you sweety
Honey, baby
You are my sunshine

Sunshine

Along with "Who Am I" and "When the World's at Peace," this was one of three songs that the team of Bunny Sigler and Phil Hurtt wrote for the Back Stabbers. Sigler and Hurtt worked out of Philadelphia International Records, writing, producing and singing backup for Joe Simon, Jackie Moore, The Stylistics and many other acts. In our interview with Phil Hurtt , he talked about writing the lyric for "Sunshine":

"A lot of times when I'm trying to come up with a lyric or a feel, I write something that I would like to say, something I'm looking for. I can go into my imagination and imagine this person, this woman in my own life, and what I would say to her. When I was in the service in Alaska I would write letters for my friends to their girls, and these guys would always receive these tremendous accolades for their letters I had written: 'Oh, my wife was so happy that I said that.'

So carrying that forward, when I started writing lyrics, I did the same thing. I'd go back into myself, my inner self, and imagine what I would say. So when I say, 'You're the sweetest thing I know, you dim the rainbow's glow. There's no power on this earth that would separate us,' that's where I am."

In 1974, a live version was released as "Sunshine (Part II)," which is the version that charted at #48 in America. It was extracted from their album The O'Jays Live in London.

Sunshine Lyrics

Made a wish, I can dream
I can be what I want to be
Not afraid to live my life
And fulfil my fantasies

I learnt a lot of tricks to help me live my life
You helped me find my paradise
When you came I saw

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

Reaching out, for the highs
You inspired me to try
I felt the magic inside
And I felt that I could fly
I'm looking at the world in an optimistic light
You made me appreciate my life
'cause when you came you were my

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

You are the calm
I am the storm
You are the breeze that carries me on
When I said a truth
You wink at me
You're there for me

Sunshine (oh yeah)
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star

(Sunshine) Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine
My star, my star..

Sunshine

Life hasn't always been a breeze for Gabrielle, who was teased and picked on because of a lazy eye at school. Then after breaking through with her hit single "Dreams" she had to endure being in the public eye when her long term partner Tony Antoniou was imprisoned for the murder of his stepfather. Gabriellle penned this song after a happier event; The birth of her son: "Sunshine was a tribute to my son for being my whole reason for living after many testing years," she said in 2010. "Now my little girl and boy are my sunshine every day."

Jon Haber put his musical aspirations on hold at the age of 24 to open his own successful New York instrument retail chain, Alto Music. After 25 years of being away, Haber decided that it was time to return to being a guitarist in a band. Despite the fact that Haber was not performing all those years, he was still writing songs. One day in February of 2013, Haber had the urge to gather all the tunes to properly record them, and, ultimately, marking the beginning of the DEC3 project.

In our interview, Haber recalled why he wanted to make the album: "I figured that I had all these great songs, ones that I really like and thought that people will like them, too. I went about getting that together and as I started doing it, I started writing and I became very prolific. So most of the songs on the record are new ones - eight of the 12 are new ones that I'd written."

Jon Haber figured that he could play most of the instruments and produce the album himself. Chris Saulpaugh, who Haber has collaborated with on all his songs throughout the years, covered the vocal duties. Haber needed a drummer so the final piece to the puzzle was enlisting the help of his co-worker and friend, Mike Kalajian. Haber named the project DEC3 after realizing that all three men were born in different decades.

"Sunshine" is the seventh track on DEC3's debut self-titled album and one of the oldest songs on it. Jon Haber explained in our interview his intention for the tune, saying: "It was one of the ones that when I started this project I said that I was going to re-do."

Chris Saulpaugh recorded the vocals for it in 2000 and re-did some parts for the new version. "We popped in six vocal lines that I changed a few things lyrically but you can't even tell," revealed Haber.

Haber unveiled to us the true meaning of this summer jam: "Everybody has their thing that helps them get through the day, be it religion, drugs, booze, or yoga. But, of all the things, the best thing is just love."
