Lyrics

  1. Life didn’t seem real
    The world seemed terribly wrong
    How different I feel
    Since you happened along

Chorus
Out of the dawn there came a sunbeam
Out of the dawn a dream came true
Wandering on I find that sunbeam
Lingering on the long day through
Please tell me who’d ever think
My skies would ever be blue?
Who’d ever think I’d need somebody like you?
But out of the dawn there came a sunbeam
And a beautiful dream came true

  1. Skies never were blue
    Until you wandered my way
    Dear, since I found you
    Skies have never been gray
