Lyrics[]
- Can you see?
- The sun is shinin' on me.
- It makes me feel so free,
- so alive!
- It makes me want to survive!
- And the sky,
- it makes me feel so high,
- The bad times pass me by
- 'cause today
- is gonna be a brighter day!
- Can you feel the sunshine?
- Does it brighten up your day?
- Don't you feel that sometimes
- You just need to run away?
- Reach out for the sunshine
- Forget about the rain
- Just think about the good times
- And they will come back again
- Feel the sunshine...
- Without you,
- there's nothing for me to do
- Can you feel the sunshine, too?
- It's comin' through,
- it makes me feel brand new
- When you're here,
- I wish you were always near
- 'cause everything's so clear
- And today
- is gonna be a brighter day
- Can you feel the sunshine?
- Does it brighten up your day? (Brighten up your day...)
- Don't you feel that sometimes
- You just need to run away?
- Reach out for the sunshine
- Forget about the rain
- Just think about the good times
- And they will come back again
- When the sun goes down
- I feel like I am waiting
- For another day
- When the clouds go away
- Can you feel it?
- Ooh-hoo...
- Can you feel it?
- Oh...
- Can you feel it?
- Oh...
- Can you feel it?
- Can you feel the sunshine?
- Does it brighten up your day? (Brighten up your day...)
- Don't you feel that sometimes
- We just need to run away?
- Reach out for the sunshine
- Forget about the rain
- Just think about the good times
- And they will come back again
- [piano, percussion bridge]
- Can you feel the sunshine?
- Does it brighten up your day? (Brighten up your day...)
- Don't you feel that sometimes
- You just need to run away? (You just need to run away...)
- Reach out for the sunshine
- Forget about the rain
- Just think about the good times
- And they will come back again
- Can you feel the sunshine? (Can you feel it?)
- Does it brighten up your day? (Brighten up your day...)
- Don't you feel that sometimes
- We just need to run away? (Need to run away...)
- Reach out for the sunshine (Reach out...)
- Forget about the rain
- Just think about the good times
- And they will come back again
- Whoa-oh-oh-oh...
- Brighten up your day...
- You just need to run away...
- Reach out, you gotta reach out...
- Come back again...
- You gotta reach out...
