Lyrics
Took my guitar down from the closet It was grey with winter dust Wiped it with my Sunday sleeve Tuned it up with trust First warm day came knocking Said, come out and play So I sat upon the steps And I let the strings say Strum me home, sunshine Strum me home Every string is singing I am not alone Strum me home, sunshine Light up the street Every little chord I play Gets a smile to meet The old man in the window Tapped his foot in time A little girl across the way Began to hum and rhyme The bus went by real slowly The driver gave a wave Spring was in my fingers And the sunshine was my stage Strum me home, sunshine Strum me home Every string is singing I am not alone Strum me home, sunshine Light up the street Every little chord I play Gets a smile to meet Oh, I do not need a ballroom I do not need a crowd Just a step, a song, a morning And a good heart singing loud Strum me home, sunshine Strum me home Every string is singing I am not alone Strum me home, sunshine Light up the street Every little chord I play Gets a smile to meet Strum me home Sunshine
