Lyrics: Sunshine Of Your Love
It’s gettin’ near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I’ll soon be with you my love
To give you my dawn surprise
I’ll be with you darling soon
I’ll be with you when the stars start fallingI’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your loveI’m with you my love
The light’s shinin’ through on you
Yes, I’m with you my love
It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you darling now
I’ll stay with you till my seas are dried upI’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your loveI’m with you my love
The light’s shinin’ through on you
Yes, I’m with you my love
It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you darling now
I’ll stay with you till my seas are dried upI’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love
