Oh, Sunny boy Now let me tell you how much good You've done me boy Cause when I'm feeling alone You give me plenty joy Into each lives some rain must fall But with you here There's no rain at all Sunny boy Looks good in everything From silk to corduroy To see him I'd walk from Idaho to Illinois (Or anywhere) Do anything to be with him My sunshine when the world is dim It's sunny boy, sunny boy My pride and joy Sunny boy Sunny boy You made my life so sweet It's just like honey, boy And I love you so much till it ain't funny boy My cloudy days have been de-clouded Since you're here so keep on shining Sunny boy, sunny boy My pride and joy Hey, sunny boy My honey boy Now only your sweet lovin' can give me joy I'm trying to tell the world That you're my sunny boy
