Text
Sunshine came softly through my window today. Could have tripped up easy, but I've, changed my way. It'll take time, I know it, but in a while, You're gonna be mine and I know it, we'll do it in style.	a
'Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine, I tell you right now, any trick in the book and now baby, that I can find.	b
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene. When I say we'll be cool, I think that, you know what I mean. We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when? I know a beach where baby, it never ends.	c
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine, hm hm hm hm, I pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.	d
Superman and Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me, I can make like a turtle and dart for your pearls in the sea. I gear you, you can just sit there well thinkin' on your velvet throne. 'Bout all the rainbows you can have all you own.	e
