 Here Come the Sun - The Beatles

--------------------------

Lyrics

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Here comes the sun do, do, do
Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
