Lyrics 

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

Here comes the Sun and I say

It’s all right

Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes

Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes

Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes

Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes

Sun, Sun, Sun, here it comes

Little darling

I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling

It seems like years since it’s been clear

Here comes the Sun (doo, doo, doo)

Here comes the Sun and I say

It’s all right

Here comes the Sun (doo, doo, doo)

Here comes the Sun

It’s all right

It’s all right
