Lyrics

Sunday, sunny Sunday
Lazy Sunday afternoon
Sunday, sunny Sunday
Playing a breezy summer tune.

Kick your shoes off for awhile
Lay back and listen to the trees
You can find a whole new outlook
‘Cause there’s so much to believe.

Sunday, sunny Sunday
Free and playful as a child
Hugging with gentle feelings
Running through a field, young and wild.

Have you ever heard the sunshine
Ask you to come and play awhile?
That’s what happens when I’m with you
I can see it in your smile.

Children play tag in the field
Grandpa joins in their fun
Together, friends are walking hand-in-hand
A quiet moment for someone.

Sunday, sunny Sunday
The wind and the sunshine always knew
I’m so glad I found you
And I’ll see you real soon.
On this afternoon, on this afternoon,
On this afternoon.

Here's a sweet, loving, childlike song that makes the listener smile and feel a good feeling. I really like the chord progression. It's rather unique and adds an interesting element to the song. Background keys add a nice touch to this song and the guitar harmonics at the end are sure to please. Instrumental with "da da da" is cute and pleasant to listen to. Lyrics are sweet, simple and easy to understand. This appears to be a home recording, but it's adequate for communicating the carefree atmosphere the songwriter strives to create.
