Song Lyrics

I hope you're not a butterfly
Who's gonna spread it's wings and fly away,
Yeah-ee-yeah-ah
I hope you're not the moving type
Who's gonna up and pack and walk away

I need you to be there
To treat me like you care
I need you to be where
Anywhere I need you
I need you to myself
Not layin' with anyone else
I need you next to me for always

Could you be my sunshine
(Could you be my sunshine)
On a cloudy day
(On a cloudy day)
Could you be my yellow
(Could you be my yellow)
When I'm feeling gray
(When I'm feeling gray)

I hope you're not the type to jump into the car
And twist the key goodbye oh-oh-ah-oh
I hope you're not the type that's quick to say goodbye
And not give it a chance yeah-yeah-e-yeah

I need you to be there
To treat me like you care
I need you to be where
Anywhere I need you
I need you to myself
Not layin' with anyone else
I need you next to me for always

Could you be my sunshine
(Could you be my sunshine)
On a cloudy day
(On a cloudy day)
Could you be my yellow
(Could you be my yellow)
When I'm feeling gray
(When I'm feeling gray)

Could you be my river
And help me float away
Could you be my sunshine
On a cloudy day

Could you be my sunshine
(Could you be my sunshine)
On a cloudy day
(On a cloudy day)
Could you be my yellow
(Could you be my yellow)
When I'm feeling gray
(When I'm feeling gray)

Could you be my river
And help me float away
Could you be my sunshine
On a cloudy day
