Sunshine of Your Love Lyrics

[Verse]
It is getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I will soon be with you, my love
To give you my dawn surprise

[Pre-Chorus]
I will be with you, darling, soon
I will be with you when the stars start falling

[Chorus 1]
I have been waiting so long
To be where I am going
In the sunshine of your love

[Chorus 2]
I am with you my love
The light is shining through on you
Yes, I am with you my love
It is the morning and just we two

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
See Eric Clapton Live
Get tickets as low as $54
[Outro]
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To be where I am going
In the sunshine of your love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
