Jepsen, Carly Rae - Sunshine On My Shoulders Lyrics






Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water that is so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I would give a day sure to make you smile
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine on almost makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I would give to you a day just liek today
Ah if I had a song I could sing for you
I would sing a song to make you this way

Sunshine ooo sunshine
la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine almost always makes me high

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine almost always makes me high

  1. R.... H....

    Talk about ruining a beautiful song . So superficial and vacuous . A childish banal vocal with no training .

  2. M.... M....

    Cool John Denver cover .. Funky

  3. M.... ....

    nice

  4. �.... �....

    Wow, this sucks!!!

    I was installing equipment at a 3 rink ice skating rink where heavy duty skating practice goes on and this song came on a few times during some of the skaters practice and had to look it up Carly Rae Jepsen. don't know who she is but that song was done with grace and beauty

  11. b.... ....

    I had no idea about the original, but something always seemed to be off. I love CRJ and all, but the quality of this song is way way way above her (or 99% of anyone's) capabilities, which is nothing to be ashamed of. Lo and behold it was John Denver who wrote it, and it all makes sense. That being said, I like this version. The original is something I'd never listen to 'for fun', but I guess that says more about my taste than anything.

    b.... ....

    John Denver died on October 12th 1997 at the age of 53 when his plane that he was piloting crashed in Monterey Bay in California his real name was Henry John deutschendorf Jr

  12. T.... Q....

    love you Carly 😍😊

  13. D.... T....

    both John and Carly sing this extremely well. Love both versions :)

  14. m.... ....

    Please do not compare. John Denver's original is country music back in the 70's. This Carly Rae Jepsen's remake is entirely different mix of jazz and pop. I like both versions.

    m.... ....

    +mannydeguzmanjartist like your opinion... BOTH versions are fantastic

  15. l.... n....

    será tu final perra y como borreis más videoclips de carly la apoçalipsis verdad?

  26. e.... ....

    This song was originally by John Denver and on The John Denver Show, Danny Kaye guest starred and they did it in a British way!

  27. M.... 3....

    Ahhh lovely Sunshine On My Shoulders :)))

  28. S.... ....

    This is good but not nearly as good as the original.....

    S.... ....

    ditto, maybe if she'd actually sing it, it might be better.

    S.... ....

    Man I hated John Denver's version. This is what made me like it. 

    S.... ....

    @Tannis then you have rpoblems my friend!

    S.... ....

    @Emmet Deegan Different strokes for different folks, dont judge Tannis for liking this version more.

    S.... ....

    @Emmet Deegan I like hers better. It doesn't feel like I'm blazing in the back of a room it feels like I'm driving down a highway in the country. 

  29. P.... B....

    amazing version, Carly's an amazing singer <3 

  30. M.... P....

    Come to Costa Rica and we'll let you stay in a beautiful venue if you let us use your song... This song would be used for a fishing video (happy day on the ocean) via YouTube... Please write back for details! Pura vida!

  48. L.... M....

    <3 <3
    I Love You Carly <3

  49. P.... B....

    SHE'S SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

  50. x.... ....

    This song is written by John Denver. She could never, ever write something like the original version of this song.

  51. x.... ....

    Or don't make a terrible cover of an amazing song.

  52. x.... ....

    Carly Rae Jespen can't even hold a candle to John Denver. John Denver is known as one of the greatest vocalists of all time and he doesn't need to auto tune the hell out of his music unlike Carly does.

  53. x.... ....

    In my opinion I hate this cover for 2 reasons:

    1. She didn't put in any where near as much emotion as John Denver did in the original version.

    2. You don't take a song like this and make it into some mainstream pop bullshit.

  54. J.... A....

    This song was good when I was growing up. I would sing it esp on my low days & I still do. I am glad to see it brings importance still to the new generation of musically talented artists today. Thank you Carly for bringing this song back to life.

  55. M.... M....

    Carlyy i love you. This song is good. stop arguing.

  56. J.... S....

    This sucks ass..leave johns songs alone

  57. s.... ....

    Carly has a folk Background ., She loves people like John Denver ,,Joni Mitchell --- so on ., there is some older songs she wrote that will show what she did before pop .,,on you-tube worth checking out --MONEY AND THE EGO --- WORLDLY MATTERS ---I STILL WONDER--- TELL ME ---HOTEL SHAMPOOS -- HEAVY LIFTING

  59. D.... J....

    Such a beautiful song 3

  60. C.... S....

    Your so cute Pretty Carly! :)

  61. T.... ....

    you are completely right, at first i was happy to see a modern "musician" doing a cover of one of JD songs but hearing it makes me sad

  62. B.... B....

    --> AMbQssgM2vw
    Just to compare ...

  63. B.... B....

    Whoo ... John wouldn't love this ... no voice, no depth, no good ...

  64. B.... S....

    I LOVE CARLY YOU BEAUTIFUL

  65. T.... ....

    Way to ruin a classic Carly Crap Jensen.

  66. b.... ....

    i love this, i hate her new music.

  67. M.... R....

    Is that dress see through

  68. l.... ....

    Wait... What?

  69. T.... M....

    You appear to have misunderstood my position. I'm not arguing in favour of her new commercial crap, because that's exactly what it is, crap. I was referring to her debute album that got radio play for over 3 years in Canada before she blew up in the States. This album is a true represntation of Carly's artistic potential. Of course, as soon as corporate America is involved all artistic aspects of the music are set aside in favour of a more rofitable approach.

    Superb sound.

  72. F.... ....

    In this case not really, as the role the guy played in the video was actually of a gay guy.

  73. I.... L....

    DON'T say gay. It's SO UNCOOL AND SUPER MEAN

  74. j.... ....

    Famous in BC maybe, she was never really heard of in the rest of Canada before her single Tug of War, then she actually hit it big with Call Me Maybe. None of her songs besides "Call Me Maybe" even made it in the top 30 in Canada. And if you're gonna say "but she was on Canadian Idol"... No one ever watched Canadian Idol, the season she was on was the last one before it was cancelled.

  75. s.... ....

    Then why does she do such a lousy job of singing this song?

    mcp

  76. s.... ....

    what u do not understand about Carly is she got famous in Canada for writing folk type songs ..She looked up to James Taylor Joni Mitchell ---John Denver ---and others of this style .. if u listen on youtube to her pre pop songs you will see a totally different side of Carlys music writing check out ----WORLDLY MATTERS --TELL ME --MONEY AND THE EGO --- HOTEL SHAMPOOS --SWEET TALKER --- HEAVY LIFTING ...

  77. �.... ....

    dat dress!!!

  78. o.... ....

    WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK DID HE SAY?

  79. N.... ....

    *a million times

  80. H.... S....

    I LOVE THE DRESS

  81. s.... ....

    If liking the commercial crap that this girl cranks out makes one sane then I am happily crazy.

    That vibrato that you point out is just a cheap effect that virtually any singer can pull off - and just about all of them can do it better than Jepsen.

  83. h.... ....

    Listen to Tiny Little Bows (Green Couch Session). She sounds fantastic. And at least she bothered to acknowledge such a great artist. Now more people know about him :)

  84. T.... M....

    No offence, but you're insane. Denver was a deep man with spectacular lyric writing ability, and a pretty respectable voice. Jepsen is also a terrific songwriter (you may be familiar with her new crap written by SchoolBoy Records, but her first album was of notable lyricism) and her voices captures and disseminates the sunshine over the course of each breath. Her vibrato on the third line with the word 'lovely' in this song is one of her splendid additions to it, just to point out the one.

  85. s.... ....

    No.

    mcp

  86. s.... ....

    Denver es, probablemente, revolviéndose en su tumba.

    mcp

  87. s.... ....

    She's certainly showing it by trying to cover this song.

    mcp

  88. s.... ....

    This would make good elevator music.

    mcp

  89. s.... ....

    John Denver was a thousand times the singer that this girl is. Remember, Denver used virtually no assistance beyond amplification. Jepsen can't sing without electronic assistance.

    This version just makes me want to laugh. Jepsen completely loses the spirituality of the original while adding nothing of her own.

    mcp

  90. C.... ....

    Not bad, just i like more the original
    But again, not bad
