Sunshine girl I'm leaving soon
I'll be back some day

Sunshine girl I feel your eyes on me
Your looks excite me
I wonder can it be
Do you invite me
To hold you tightly
How you delight me
My sunshine girl

Tonight, tonight, and every night I wanna be beside you
Tonight, tonight, and every night
I'll be the one to guide you
As the wind blows gently on the blue lagoon I'll hide you sunshine girl 
My sunshine girl

Sunshine girl, now I must go away
'Cause this was only a summer holiday
But one day, I'll be returning, you'll see
Across the blue sea my sunshine girl

Tonight, tonight, and every night I wanna dream about you
Tonight, tonight, and every night
How can I live without you

When I'm home, then everyone will hear about
My little sunshine girl, my sunshine girl

Tonight, tonight, and every night I'm gonna dream about you
Tonight, tonight, and every night
How can I live without you
When I'm home, then everyone will hear about
My little sunshine girl, my sunshine girl
Sunshine girl, I'm leaving soon
But I'll be back some day
Sunshine girl, I'm leaving soon
But I'll be back some day
Sunshine girl, I'm leaving soon
But I'll be back some day

Herman's Hermits

Herman's Hermits are an English beat (or pop) band, formed in Manchester in 1963 as Herman & The Hermits. The group's record producer, Mickie Most (who controlled the band's output), emphasized a simple, non-threatening, clean-cut image, although the band originally played R&B numbers. This helped Herman's Hermits become hugely successful in the mid-1960s but dampened the band's songwriting; Noone, Hopwood, Leckenby and Green's songs were relegated to B-sides and album cuts. more »
