When the sun comes up I feel like hiding
When it goes down show my face again
Sweet honey child you are my sunshine
Giving me light with the warmth of your smile
You tell me once and you tell me again
I'm sure I'll get it right
If I get it wrong for the third and last time
Honey please start again
When the sun comes up I feel I'm drowning
When it goes down I get so lonely again
Sweet honey child you see I'm drowning
Going down for the third and last time
Tell me what I'm doing wrong
I'm sure to learn in time
But if I get this wrong for the third and last time
Honey go start again
Sweet honey child you see I'm drowning
Going down for the third and last time
When I'm all at sea you save me baby
Show me the light in your sweet loving arms
Tell me once and you tell me again
I'm sure to get it right
But if I get this wrong for the third and last time
Honey please start again
Honey go start
Honey go start
Honey go start again
