You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...

I fished in my yard today,

But didn’t catch a single sound.

Cuz in Indiana,

It’s hard to pull music from the ground.

I didn’t make my quota today,

But oh, what a catch!

My  friends outnumber the stars,

As a matter of fact.

I’ve been trying to get on top,

But the mold won’t fit like that,

We don’t bounce back anymore,

Instead I just fall flat.

So walk into the desert

And leave behind the shore

You can touch the whole wide world

Cuz your shadows stretch that far.

I danced in the rain today,

Sang with the thunder of the clouds.

I sent you the sunshine,

It never stays long in this small town.

I’ve been looking upside down,

Need to get my perspective straight.

I could see from me to you,

If I had a little faith.

So climb the highest mountain,

I’ll meet you where you are.

You can touch the whole wide world,

Cuz your shadows stretch that far.

I sort of lost my head today,

but I found it in your hands.

You gave it back with a smile that said,

You truly understand.

And so I’m left alone again,

With a day’s mistakes to reconcile, 

In the checkbook of my heart.

But then the sun sets with a smile, 

As I stay and watch for now,

The sky grows slowly dark.

You can touch the whole wide world

Cuz your shadows stretch that far
