Sunshine
Embracing Radiance: The Denabys' Ode to Love and Renewal
Lyrics
Today as I was walking home from work
Reflecting on a walk home from work
I thought of you and all those things you do to me
Thinking about the positive impact of the person being addressed
Baby can't you see
Expressing a desire for the person to recognize the speaker's feelings
That I'm the one for you
Asserting that the speaker is the ideal match for the person
You're the one for me baby
Reciprocal acknowledgment that the person is also right for the speaker
Can't you see that without you I'm in misery
Conveying distress and unhappiness without the person
Sunshine
Introducing the theme of "Sunshine" as a metaphor for the person
Want you to be my sunshine
Expressing a desire for the person to be a source of joy and brightness
Sunshine
Repeating the desire for the person to be the speaker's sunshine
Want you to be my sunshine
Reiterating the wish for the person to be a positive force in the speaker's life
You brighten up my day
Describing the person's impact on brightening the speaker's day
You're Chasing all the clouds away
Highlighting the person's ability to dispel negativity
Sunshine sunshine want you to be my sunshine
Repetition of the desire for the person to be the speaker's sunshine
Two steps forward four steps back
Acknowledging challenges in the relationship with a metaphor of steps
I've got to get myself on track
Expressing the need to overcome obstacles and find a direction
Sometimes people need a change
Suggesting the inevitability of change in relationships
Sometimes things get rearranged
Recognizing the necessity of adapting to new circumstances
But if we go our separate ways
Contemplating the possibility of parting ways
I still wish that you would stay
Expressing a wish for the person to stay, even if paths diverge
Stay right beside me tonight
Specifically desiring the person's presence tonight
You can be my sunshine
Reiterating the metaphor of the person being the speaker's sunshine
My sunshine
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing the person as the speaker's sunshine
Sunshine
Reiteration of the desire for the person to bring brightness and joy
Want you to be my sunshine
Repeating the request for the person to be the speaker's sunshine
Sunshine
Emphasizing the longing for the person to be a source of positivity
Want you to be my sunshine
Reiterating the wish for the person to be the speaker's sunshine
You brighten up my day
Describing the positive impact of the person on the speaker's day
You're Chasing all the clouds away
Highlighting the person's ability to dispel clouds of negativity
Sunshine sunshine want you to be my sunshine
Repetition of the desire for the person to be the speaker's sunshine
