List of Songs about Sunshine
Ray Rejuvenation
There Is Always Sunshine After a Storm
There are times when we need to make our own sunshine. This could be because the weather is gloomy and clouds, or rain, have blocked your sunshine.
Lack of sunshine could also be due to negative people stealing your sunshine. Don't allow them to steal your joy, take it back.
Suppose you happen to wake up in a blue mood. Or you are going through a troublesome time in your life. These events could rob your sunshine.
Perhaps you are just feeling in a sunshine kind of mood and want the feeling to continue.
Even if you only need a temporary dose of vitamin D, music is excellent medicine.
I hope this article serves as your way to get your sunshine back. No matter how your rays of sun might have been taken, you could always get back into the groove.
Feel free to come back and relax with these songs about sunshine as often as needed.

Remember there is always sunshine after a storm. In the meanwhile keep on shining...
Beatles - Good Day Sunshine
My GrandChickies ... Faith and Lily
You Are My Sunshine
This article was inspired by my granddaughters Faith and Lily. They are the sunshines of my life. They have both brought so much joy and love into my world.
One of our favorite songs is:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'm sure everyone has heard and sung this song many, many times. I hope this song with few words, but says plenty is also part of your life.

Enjoyed going through your selection, and all fabulous I might add! Your intro play on words is pretty cute too - had to listen to Sunshine on My Shoulders, reminds me of growing up in the '70's and most of all reminds me of rocking my kids when they were little - this was a song I sang to them all the time
Suzie from Carson City on May 31, 2014:
....and in a land far, far away, lives the Goddess of the Sun.......Each morning she commands the sun to rise and SHINE, shine, shine.....Her name is "Sunshine".....and all day long, she sings songs about......what else? SUNSHINE!
(sometimes she gets carried away & makes it SO damned HOT, it makes me limp & lifeless, hundreds of miles away!).....Why are there no songs about Air Conditioning???
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on May 31, 2014:

You sure got the world wrapped around your fingers, don't you Sunshine? There's more songs out there about you than they got about Chicago. And two of those are some of my favorites;
You Are The Sunshine of My Life, and You Are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine (which I'm sure you sing to your grand-chickies every chance you get).
You think there's a song out there about my name, Comfort?
Voted up and beautiful.

amandajoyshapiro on October 01, 2013:
Very creative list. One song I like from Aqualung is "Brighter Than Sunshine." It's really slow but nice to hear when you want to sleep on the beach or on the terrace.
CraftytotheCore on October 01, 2013:
This is genuinely interesting to me. My daughter's name in Spanish means sunshine.
Gail Sobotkin from South Carolina on October 01, 2013:
Ah....this was the perfect hub to read and listen to after returning from a beautiful, sun-filled walk at the beach. There wasn't a cloud in sight this morning and the sun is still shining brightly in my back yard.
My favorite of all these songs is John Denver's "Sunshine on my Shoulders" because it's bittersweet and always reminds me not to take a single day of sunshine for granted.
Sending a Bouquet of Hub Hugs and Love Your Way and voting this hub up across the board except for funny.
Also sharing it.
Chitrangada Sharan from New Delhi, India on October 01, 2013:
