Song lyrics of Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
