Sunshine On A Rainy Day Lyrics

[SPONSOR]
I see you in the darkness, I see you in the light
I see your eyes shining in through the night

Make me feel, make me feel like I belong
Don't leave me, don't leave me here all alone

Cast your eyes like summer skies
Bluer than the ocean, clearer than the sky
Yeah

* Sunshine on a rainy day
Makes my soul, makes my soul, trip, trip, trip away

[Repeat *]

You touch me with your spirit, you touch me with your heart
You touch me in the darkness, I feel it start

Make me feel, make me feel, so unreal, so unreal
Like a wind in the desert, like a moon on the sea
Yeah

[Repeat * , * , *]

Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine ... till fade

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

what a shit song this is - they used to play this on the automated playlist at work and i quit my job almost entirely because of this shit music. anyway, i think this was christine anu trying to catch onto the pseudo-new-age vibe that was going 'round in the late 1990s thanks to Madonna and William Orbit, maybe Delerium to a lesser extent. the lyrics are cheap, meaningless and really thoughtless - it's like one of anu's songwriters sat down for five minutes, put this crap together and said "yeah, that sounds spiritual enough" - the next day they recorded it and I puked.

One of my favourite songs of all time. Deceptively simple - it offers the most amazing scope to a soaring female voice like Anu's.

Very difficult to write something like this. The temptation is to build it up instead of strip it all away. Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone is the only other "I feel' song that, for me, has the same emotive power, but Dylan can build up anything he wants and I'm sucked in. This song is content to be simple and trippy and, it just tears me up every time.
