Song DescriptionTraveling from the east to the west coast of Florida, with a noontime stop in the central springs, the Florida Sunshine beams down in this happy song.
Story Behind the SongI wrote this song for the Florida Song Contest. The tune was originally written for a friend of mine in college, but I rewrote the song for Florida and like it better now.

Florida Sunshine, O cast your beam on me
From Everglades to Augustine,
From sea to shining sea.
And when I sink my toes into your sand
I warm up to the wonder of this Florida Land
Sunrise on the shore,
Light the eastern beach
Here's a ray of rose;
There's a touch of peach
Sparkle on the sand
Glance the seagull's wing
And Shine----O Florida, sing!
High noon at the springs
Now I feel the heat
Gators in the grass
Catfish in the creek
Diamond prism dance
Sapphire in the deep
O Shine----and Florida, sing!
Bridge: Light my world, Tan my skin
Green the groves, make me grin
And shine, O Florida, sing!
Sundown on the bay
Westerly she sinks
Paintbrush in the sky
Violet and pink
Hail the Master's hand
Lift your voice and sing
And Shine----O Florida, sing!
