Every second spent with you is like a day that starts brand new .

Yes, I wanna build my whole world around you

So, I promise you forever and for always

Girl, you are my sunshine

Baby don't you go away

I hear music in your words and in the way you call my name.

When you're by my side

You're my lover 

Without you, no one else would do. 

Through thick and thin

I know we'll make it through. 

Yes, I wanna build my whole world around you

So, I promise you forever and for always

Girl, you are my sunshine

Baby don't you go away
