Denver beschreef hoe hij "Sunshine on My Shoulders" schreef: "Ik schreef het lied in Minnesota in de tijd die ik 'late winter, vroege lente' noem. Het was een sombere dag, grijs en modderig. De sneeuw smolt en het was te koud om naar buiten te gaan en plezier te hebben, maar god, je bent klaar voor de lente. Je wilt weer naar buiten en je wacht tot de zon schijnt, en je herinnert je hoe soms alleen de zon zelf je een goed gevoel kan geven. En in die zeer melancholische gemoedstoestand schreef ik 'Sunshine on My Shoulders'.
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you a day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile If I had a wish that I could wish for you I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high Sunshine almost all the time makes me high Sunshine almost always
