Lyrics

Sun Magic

[Verse 1]

The sun is a very magic fellow

He shines down on me each day

The sun is a very magic fellow

He shines down on me each day

He shines down on me each day

[Verse 2]

The wind is a very fickle fellow

He blows all my dreams away

The wind is a very fickle fellow

Blowin' all my dreams away

Blowin' all my dreams away

[Verse 3]

The rain is a very sad lady

She falls down on me sometimes

The rain is a very sad lady

She falls down on me sometimes

Falls down on me sometimes

[Verse 4]

The sea is a very, very old man

Deeper than the deepest blue

The sea is a very, very old man

Deeper than the deepest blue

Deeper than the deepest blue

[Verse 5]

The moon is a typical lady

I watch her wax and wane

The moon is a typical lady

I watch her wax and wane

I watch her wax and wane

[Verse 6]

A star is so very far away, love

Just between you and me

A star is so very far away, love

Just between you and me

Just between you and me

[Verse 7]

A song is a pillow for my sadness

We sing all our cares away

A song is a pillow for my sadness

We sing all our cares away

We sing all our cares away

[Bridge]

La-la, la, la-la, la-la, la, la, la

La-la, la, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la

La-la, la, la-la, la-la, la, la, la

La-la, la, la-la-la-la, la

[Verse 1]

The sun is a very magic fellow

He shines down on me each day

The sun is a very magic fellow

He shines down on me each day

Shines down on me each day

[Verse 1]

The sun is a very magic fellow

He shines down on me each day

The sun is a very magic fellow

Shines down on me each day

Shines down on me each day

[Outro]

*Scat singing*
