Little Ray of Sunshine

from LOVE by Kelli Welli

/

about

"Little Ray of Sunshine" was an inspiration while out walking, pushing my twins in a really long infant stroller, happy to be out and about and for a little ray of sunshine on a gray Portland winter's day.

lyrics

You're my little ray of sunshine
Little ray of sunshine
Smile so bright
You could light up the night
Little ray of sunshine
Little ray of sunshine
Keeping me warm in a snow storm

Don't go, my little ray--ay
I need your light every day--ay
Don't go, my little ray-ay
You're the answer to a prayer
From the Lord above
The answer to a prayer
When I needed love--

You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay

Don't go, my little ray--ay
You're my rainbow maker on gray day
Don't go, my little ray--ay
You're a miracle
I didn't know I'd need
You're my vitamins
L, O, V and E--

You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay

Shine, shine and be mine all mine
Shine, shine and be mine
Shine, shine and be mine all mine
Little ray--ay, little ray

Shine, shine and be mine all mine
Shine, shine and be mine
Shine, shine and be mine all mine
Little ray--ay, little ray

You're my little ray of sunshine
Little ray of sunshine
Smile so bright
You could light up the night
Little ray of sunshine
Little ray of sunshine
Keeping me warm in a snow storm

Don't go, my little ray--ay
I need your light every day--ay
Don't go, my little ray--ay
You're a miracle
I didn't know I'd need
You're my vitamins
L, O, V and E--

You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay

Sunlight all night and day...

With my little ray--ay
You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay
You're my little ray-ay
