It's such a beautiful day that the sky seems to say good morning
Mister dust off your shoes throw away all your blues and start smiling
Take a good look around there's no clouds looking down upon your way
So won't you decide to come back alive, it's a new day.

Sunday sunrise shining through my window pane
Chasing away my cares with all the pouring rain
Sunday sunrise unfolding like a smile
Making me feel like a new born baby child.

Well, I'm feeling so good I keep knocking on wood I'm no dreaming
I hear birds everywhere singing songs in the air with a meaning
Saying it's time to wake up get a whole new outlook from your view
Come on out where it's warm it don't do any harm if you want to.

Sunday sunrise shining through my window pane
Chasing away my cares with all the pouring rain
Sunday sunrise unfolding like a smile
Making me feel like a new born baby child.

Oh, Sunday sunrise shining through my window pane
Chasing away my cares with all the pouring rain
Sunday sunrise unfolding like a smile
Making me feel like a new born baby child
