Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I looked high, I looked lowAlways searching for loveWell I try in my soulBut I just couldn’t give upThen one night so deepI stepped into paradiseWith a smile that’s so sweetYou put love into my lifeNow I’m so happy, feel like singingChildren laughing, bells are ringingFeels like heaven, I’m in cloverSweet as honey, can’t get overNow you gave me the sunshineMade it brighter each daySo I’ll tell everybody that’ll listen to meYour love made me this wayWell each day when I riseI start out thinking of youThere’s no gray in my skyIt stays eternally blueWhen the sun sinks lowI’m not alone in the darkThere’s a sunny glowThat you put into my heart
