The Sun Shines Down on Me (Kevin Coyne cover) Lyrics

Daylight shines through at last
Running right through my past
I know that everything is alright
Oh because the lord let the sun shine down on me
Oh because the lord let the sun shine on you and me

Crying, it now don't seem right
I gained back my soul and my appetite
I'm happy like I've never been before
Oh because the lord let the sun shine down on me
Oh because the lord let the sun shine on you and me

I know I was crazy
Never did a right thing at all
I know I let my mind go lazy
I let my spirit fall
I know there were some things wrong
But now it seems they've truly gone
Cause the lord let the sun shine down on me
Oh because the lord let the sun shine down on me

Said, now smile everybody, don't you see it's gone
I'm surrended by good spirits day and nighttime long
And when I walk, I walk like I've just been born
Oh because the lord let the sun shine down on me
Oh because the lord let the sun shine down on me

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.
