 Gmaj7We'd walk along the beach,
  G7Each sunny CdaayCsus2y.
 CmWe held each others hand
 GAs we dreamed of our plans
  AmFor a home someDdaaDsus4yy.
We'd Glisten to the ocean's roar;
 Gmaj7From inside,  every shell;
 G7Well,  we had Cfuuun,
 CmDigging round for clams,
 GUsing just our hands
 AmSometimes Dfinding Gone.

GHe once packed a basket for our Gmaj7lunch,
And the G7punch, ran out the Cjaar.
 CmGot the chicken soaking wet,
 GGot himself all upset,
 AmTill I'd kissed away the Dhaaarm.
I Gwould splash the water in his Gmaj7face, ahaa
Then he'd G7chase me, for a Cwhile.
CmSuddenly I'd come and flop
 GWaiting till he'd pick me up
AmAnd we'd Dstart to Gsmile
[Chorus]
Sunshine, I Clove you, I always Dwill,
Can I be Gfaithful  nG7tiiil,  
We're toAmgether once aD6gain,  Dsus2some-Gday?F

 BbBut summer days must come and gBbo,
And though we wish it Bb7so,
Time won't wait for Ebsighs.
EbmSo summer left and so did we,
 BbWe turned our backs to the sea,
 CmAnd said our sad goodFbyyyyes.
BbWinter seemed so long and cold;
 BbI watched the hours grow old,
 Bb7And,  I think of Ebyoooou.
SunEbmshine you're in my heart,
BbAll the time we are apart,
CmHope you're Fthinking Bbtoo.
