40 - Here Comes the Sun

Wednesday morning, I walked outside after exercising, and found a glorious blue sky and the sun shining. I love sunny days. I can even endure the snow if there is a blue sky sunny day going on at the same time.

I have been known to lie out in the sun on occasion (as much as possible every spring, summer, and fall for nearly...well, who cares for how many years); and, if I have a summer that is somehow too busy for some pool time, I feel I missed a vital part of existence that year. I love the sun, and today, as the winter storms set in, I wish for you a sunshiney day. John Denver said it best:

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could giveyou
I'd give to you the day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way

If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high

#40 on my list of Favorite Things is SUNSHINE.

Ahh... great memories. Love playing this on the guitar. I remember as a 12 year old falling asleep to this and other John Denver hits tapes... My kids love it when I play this one at their bedtimes. Thx for a great reminder!

If you love and can sing or play JD on the guitar (or piano), you can be adopted into the House of Smith. Very cool.
