Clock says oh-dark-thirty
Rain beats on the pane
The floor is cold, my shoes are old
I'm on the streets again
Waitress pours me coffee
Mug warms up my hands
Did she really say "Have a nice day?"
Thanks but I've got other plans
I'm looking for sunshine
In the nighttime
I've been so blind
In the middle of the night
Shades are pulled down tightly
To ward off heart attacks
But faint blue hues of TV news
Escapes between the cracks
Bass notes spill like thunder
From the local bar and grill
People drink and dance and think
It's only time they kill
Somewhere I saw you
Hiding in stained glass
I saw sunshine in your eyes
But you just turned and walked on by
Streetlights casting shadows
Hum an eerie tune
Cabarets coyotes strays
Howling at the moon
Clouds dodging starlight
Shades of gray and white
But I just walk no time to talk
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for sunshine
In the nighttime
I've been so blind
In the middle of the night
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'm looking for sunshine
In the nighttime
I've been so blind
In the middle of the night
