Song Lyrics View: Normal
Out on the street there is sunshine,
When two friends meet there is sunshine,
When life is sweet there is sunshine,
Sunshine in my heart. (Repeat)
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine in my heart.
Doot doo doo doo doot, doot doo doo.
Doot doo doo doo doot doot.
Doot doo doo doo doot, doot doo doo.
Doot doo doo doo doot doot.
Out on the street there is sunshine,
When two friends meet there is sunshine,
When life is sweet there is sunshine,
Sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine in my heart.
Out on the street there is sunshine,
When two friends meet there is sunshine,
When life is sweet there is sunshine,
Sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine in my heart.
Sunshine in my heart.

Really enjoyed this song. We sang it with about 300 other primary school pupils at the Devon Mini-Mix. Brilliant and easy to learn.

A great song, which lends itself to signing. Few words and lots of repetition, so very good for a special needs setting.
