The darkness of my world was all cleared away The flowers are blooming it's a beautiful day There's a girl with a heart as big as the sky she's sunshine and I know why All for the love of sunshine all for the love of sunshine The Lord smiled down on this life of mine and sent me the love of sunshine Though sunshine can always make my days seem bright Sunshine can warm up a cold cold night I know my sunshine was sent from above an angel that's filled with love All for the love of sunshine Through winter the springtime the summer and fall The moonlight the starlight she outshines them all In a world filled with fear with pain and such harm my sunshine can be so warm All for the love of sunshine All for the love of sunshine All for the love of sunshine
