About Good Morning Sunshine

"Good Morning Sunshine" is a song by Danish-Norwegian band Aqua from their debut album, Aquarium (1997). The group's eighth overall single as well as the seventh and last from Aquarium, the song was the first not to be released worldwide since "Lollipop (Candyman)" (1997). The song was released in December 1998, peaking at number 25 in Denmark and number 18 in the United Kingdom, becoming their lowest-charting song in the UK from the Aquarium album. The song itself was similar to "Turn Back Time", with a slower beat to previous tracks. In a documentary released in the early 2000s, the group members and principal songwriters Søren Rasted and Claus Norreen played part of an early version of the song, which was similar to their more bubblegum dance songs. According to the two, the song was going to be released as another pop song, but was changed later on. Following the release of "Good Morning Sunshine", the group went on a 14-month hiatus in order to go on tour and record their second album, Aquarius (2000).

When the sun is up, 
On a clear blue sky, 
You will act like a lover. 

When the sky is gray, 
And the rain comes down, 
You will run for cover. 

Feel the heat, come out of cold, 
And your arm is touching me. 

[Chorus]
Good morning sunshine, 
You are my only light, 
Lying with me by my side, 
You keep me warm all day. 
Just stay with me. 
Good morning sunshine, 
Be with me all day, 
Just don't let the rain pass you by, 
When it's cloudy or windy,
And the snowflakes arrive, 
You somehow just make me, 
Make me feel I'm alive. 

When you leave my field 
Then you light the stars 
Fading away in horizon 

There's a million streets 
Leading off the night, 
Waiting for sun to be risen 

Feel the heat, come out of cold, 
And your arm is touching me. 

[Chorus]

Hold it right there, 
Let me take a minute of your time, 
To explain how I feel through these rhymes. 
I do the best I can, and believe me if I could 
I'll build you a paradise with these two hands. 
The top of your skin, makes my body go numb, 
I'm thinking to myself, if my dream come true, 
Or is it 'cause you never give me a chance to tell you 
How I feel, the moments we had were too precious to kill. 

When it is cloudy or windy, 
Please turn your face at me 

[Chorus]
