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

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-doo, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

 

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

It's all right

It's all right
