Circle Around the Sun Lyrics

Now, I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Yes, I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Like a circle around the sun

I lay down last night, Lord
Just to try to take my rest
I lay down last night, Lord
I was trying to take my rest
But my thoughts they just kept wandering
Like the wild geese in the west

Now I know that sunrise, sunrise
It's gonna shine in my back yard someday
I said I know that sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
It's gonna shine in my back yard someday
And that wind just bound to rise up
Gonna blow, blow all my blues away

Hey, I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Hear me say that
I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Just like a circle around the sun

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.
