lyrics
How I Love You Sun
I have a friend and he runs a little HOT
At 9,941 degrees
And when I ask him to come out and play
He’s 93 million miles away
And if you ask him to let his light shine
8 minutes is all it’ll take
For his light to reach your smiling face Just in time to hear you say
How I love you Sun oh (how I love you)
How I love you Sun oh (how I love you)
How I love you Sun oh 2x
He’s got joy, joy, joy (where) down in his heart
Some call it nuclear fusion
And if you ask me, well, he’s a star There’s no room for confusion
How I love you Sun oh (how I love you)
How I love you Sun oh (how I love you)
How I love you Sun oh 2x
So when there’s a day thats rainy and grey
You just call up my friend
Known as Mr. Golden Sun
My love for you will never end
