The wise ones love to say
I wasn't born yesterday.
But the funny thing is, we always are,
in a matter of speaking.
And growing up can take a whole lot of time,
or it can happen in just one moment.
I know, it seems like only yesterday,
I was standing on the corner
waiting for the bus like I do every morning,
and I felt his eyes on me,
and I looked at him,

I just couldn't help it,
and they were deep brown
an d somehow full of sunshine.
Now I don't know if you've ever seen
the eyes that were full of sunshine,
well his were.
And he was so fine, solid, busting out, and eager,
and shy, and strong, and looking down at me.
I felt, I felt right then
like I'd never felt before,
standing back in his seat, y 'all.
We got on the bus,
an d there was just one seat left, and I sat down,
and he stood right over me,
pretending to read
with those sunny, shiny eyes of his.
The bus jolted
and he stepped on my foot
I said, ouch, he said he was sorry
And from that moment on we've
never looked back
Soon it was the Saturday
night movement
Evenings to dance or
dream or just relax
We saw flowers growing in the
cracks and dirty sidewalks
And we heard birds singing in
the steel and concrete walls
Me and Mr. Sunshine

You touch me in the sun
