Come to the Sunshine - Van Dyke Parks

Come to the sunshine

Hang your ups and down you comes to the sunshine

Come… to the sunshine

You know, I know, you know, that I love you

Weather here could not be finer

It suits to sail off Carolina’s shore

I’ll tell ya more and more over

Cotton threads to keep me cool

In the sun-swept afterglow

I know I’m a fool

But I’m hoping that you’ll be

Mine in time

Sailboats sail by two-by-two by

I think a lot of you I

Really doubt you think about me

Like I do you

We could laugh it all off

Of course I’d act on your behalf

Half of me would be

Forever together

Come to the sunshine

Hang your ups and down you comes to the sunshine

Come… to the sunshine

You know, I know, you know, that I love you

While they play the White Swan Serenade

Cornered, struck, I watched them promenade

Comforted -- got it made over

Dunn and Bradstreet, Vanity Fair

Who wears what, how much, and who’s been «where»

But I really don’t care

Unless we share

I have missed you since when

Went down to Port-au-Prince

Wicked way you rub the tinsel

Off my independence day

I want everyone and only

We should sail together

Come to the sunshine
