Here Comes the Sun Lyrics

[Chorus]
Here comes the sun (Doo-d-doo-doo)
Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's alright"


[Verse 1]
Little darling
It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter

Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here

[Chorus]
Here comes the sun (Doo-d-doo-doo)
Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's alright"


[Verse 2]
Little darling
The smile's returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here

[Chorus]
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's alright"
[Bridge]
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes


[Verse 3]
Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear

[Chorus]
Here comes the sun (Doo-d-doo-doo)
Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's alright"
Here comes the sun (Doo-d-doo-doo)
Here comes the sun
It's alright
It's alright

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Here Comes the Sun” is a George Harrison-penned track from Abbey Road. Following a period of disillusionment with the music industry, he skipped a day at Apple’s offices and went to his good mate Eric Clapton’s house. After feeling free and back in love with music, he wrote this song.

‘Here Comes The Sun’ was written at the time when Apple was getting like school, where we had to go and be businessmen: ‘sign this’ and ‘sign that’. Anyway, it seems as if winter in England goes on forever; by the time spring comes you really deserve it. So one day I decided I was going to sag off Apple and I went over to Eric Clapton’s house. The relief of not having to go and see all those dopey accountants was wonderful, and I walked around the garden with one of Eric’s acoustic guitars and wrote ‘Here Comes The Sun.’
