Cincinnati CityBeat : 09/13/2006 : Jake Speed

Notes: This little love song fell my way when I was away from my Queen City sweetheart. I tried to connect my feelings of loss with the autumn sun?s departure from the horizon.

Sweet Sunshine— Click here to listen
by: Jake Speed

The moon stopped shining when you left
The stars fell from the sky
And all night long I waited and waited
For my sweet sunshine, oh my,
My sweet, sweet sunshine, oh my
My sweet, sweet sunshine

Dark, black clouds came when you left
The rain fell from the sky
And all storm long I waited and waited
For my sweet sunshine, oh my,
My sweet, sweet sunshine, oh my
My sweet, sweet sunshine

The trees been whining since you left
The flowers have started to cry
We all have started whining, crying
For our sweet sunshine, oh my
My sweet, sweet sunshine, oh my
My sweet, sweet sunshine
