I have searched the world over for a love that's true
I have seen so many come and go
But I found what I needed, girl when I found you
When you love me that is how I know

I'm living in the sunshine of your tender love
I can really feel it through and through
I've been so long in darkness, things were mighty rough
I'm living in the sunshine all because of you

I'll be forever by your side, not just now and then
I can pick you up when you fall
You know I'll be your rock, girl, your lover and your friend
Be the one who answers every call

I'm living in the sunshine of your tender love
I can really feel it through and through
I've been so long in darkness, things were mighty rough
I'm living in the sunshine all because of you

(Oh, yes) I'm living in the sunshine of your tender love
I can really feel it through and through
(You know) I've been so long in darkness, things were mighty rough
I'm living in the sunshine all because of you

I'm living in the sunshine of your tender love
I can really feel it through and through (I can feel it through and through)
I've been so long in darkness, things were mighty rough
I'm living in the sunshine all because of you

(Oh, yes) I'm living in the sunshine of your tender love
I can really feel it through and through
(You know) I've been so long in darkness, things were mighty rough
I'm living in the sunshine all because of you
