(Verse 1)
Up on the mountain, so high and so bright,
We ventured together in the crisp morning light.
With skis on our feet, and the snow gleaming white,
I sang you a song, as we took our first flight.
(Chorus)
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
On snowy slopes, we'd laugh and align.
You make me happy, skies gray or blue,
And on those slopes, our spirits flew.
(Verse 2)
Each turn and each glide, a dance in the snow,
The world seemed to hush, in the valley below.
Your laughter rang out, like a sweet, echoing bell,
In those precious moments, my heart did swell.
(Chorus)
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
Guiding your skis, your confidence fine.
You make me happy, when skies are gray,
Together we skied, and fears fell away.
(Bridge)
Through every stumble, and each little fall,
You'd rise with a smile, standing so tall.
My sunshine on snow, so brave and so free,
Your laughter and joy, the best memory.
(Verse 3)
Now as you glide through life's mountains and turns,
Remember the lessons the snowy slope learns.
The song I once sang, as we skied side by side,
Is yours to keep, in your heart to reside.
(Chorus)
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
Your laughter and courage, forever entwine.
You make me happy, when skies are clear,
In every season, year after year.
(Outro)
So, glide on, my sunshine, with grace and with might,
Under the sky, so vast and so bright.
In each of your journeys, in snow or in sun,
Remember our snow skiing, and everywhere we've been.
I really love you my baby,
Happy birthday my sweet Andrea Bear..
