Story Behind The Song
Wrote this in Waikiki on my honeymoon actually, after buying my first ukulele in Maui. I've added my electric strat to the instrumentation which I play with the trem bar to give a sometimes Hawaiian feel. Reggae backing on drums and bass.

Lyrics
Angels above sing sweet love
It's a sunny day in paradise
Waves are jumping, my heart is pumping
It's a sunny day in paradise... with you.. with you
Clouds are forming, it's a newborn morning
It's a sunny day in paradise
Birds are singing, bells are ringing
It's a sunny day in paradise... with you.. with you
BRIDGE:
You and I and all of life
seek a slice of paradise...
But where to find the sacred place
That puts the peace upon the face
Is paradise just a state of grace?
It's all so simple, let love ripple
It's a sunny day in paradise
Gentle breeze through palm trees
It's a sunny day in paradise... with you.. with you
Waves in the sea
Roll out to infinity
Just like you and me...
