Sunglasses and Sunshine 2 (version 2)

Verse

Red straws in a cup of lemonade

Spinning plates on the kitchen counter where we used to play

Your hair is short now but your smile stays bright

We’re chasing sunshine on this summertime night

The sprinkler dances on our toes and feet

Giggle like a silly kid when nobody’s watching you and me

Pre-Chorus

Is it really summer or just my imagination?

Do the sunbeams play tricks on my reflection?

Can I catch a rainbow in a jar?

Let’s find out! Let’s go far!

Chorus

Sunglasses and sunshine, spinning round we go

Twirling like a daisy in the garden as it grows

Red straws and laughter in the lemonade light

We chase the sunbeams until they turn to gold tonight

Sunglasses and sunshine on our faces bright

Dancing where the butterflies take flight

Verse

Rustic door on the porch creaks open wide

A kite with streamers running, never leaving your side

In a sandbox castle made of sand and stone

We’re writing secret stories all alone

The ice cream truck is coming down the street

Do you think they have your favorite flavor treat?

Every firefly in the yard lights up like a star

Is this the best adventure or just a dream we share

Pre-Chorus

Can I wear two hats like a superhero too?

Can the wind carry me right where I want to go?

Can a sunbeam be my magic wand and bow?

Let’s find out! Let’s follow the rays!

Chorus

Sunglasses and sunshine, spinning round we go

Twirling like a daisy in the garden as it grows

Red straws and laughter in the lemonade light

We chase the sunbeams until they turn to gold tonight

Sunglasses and sunshine on our faces bright

Dancing where the butterflies take flight

Bridge

No more toys or bedtime stories tonight

Just me and you under the stars shining bright

Hold your hand up, catch that ray of gold

Make a wish as we watch it go

Mama said don’t forget this happy time

We’re making memories in our own sweet rhyme

So here’s to sunshine on a lazy day

I love chasing sunbeams with you every way

Chorus

Sunglasses and sunshine, spinning round we go

Twirling like a daisy in the garden as it grows

Red straws and laughter in the lemonade light

We chase the sunbeams until they turn to gold tonight

Sunglasses and sunshine on our faces bright

Dancing where the butterflies take flight

Outro

The sprinkler stops. The day gets dark.

But we know where tomorrow’s sun will start.

Giggle some more, don’t let it go!

This is summer magic we never want to know...
