lyrics

The London Sun

I’ve been searching for the London sun
There’s people say its days are done
But I know that it will shine again
For the London sun was once my friend
Yes, the London sun was once my friend.

Chorus
For sunshine & flowers: happy were the golden hours
When we lived & laughed & loved away our golden days
Rain clouds & showers: unhappy were the desperate hours
When our love was lost & you had to walk away
But sunshine or showers: I still believe in the golden hours
As I know love like the sun will warm my days
Warm my days.

London streets are cruel & cold
And winter’s dreams are hard to hold
But spring will come like a forgotten son
And with it will shine my London sun
And with it will shine my London sun.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

So I’ve been hoping for the London sun
In the darkest places where the traffic runs
The rain will fall on these streets & lanes
But my London sun will shine again
Yes, my London sun will shine again.

Chorus

Warm my days, warm my days, warm my days.
