about
Sunshine was written in a basement bedroom when Chris was just 15. When he couldn't sleep through the inspiration, when the band was young and in its very early, rough and raw stages.
There were six songs (known as 'the original six') on which The Ripperz began playing shows: This was one of those songs. If you were there, this is for you. And if you were not there... this is for you.
lyrics
you're like sunshine / on a cloudy morning
like fresh snow / on christmas eve
you're the best thing that ever happened to me
but i know that one day you're gonna leave
you're like showers / on an april saturday
you're like flowers / in early may
you're the best thing that ever happened to me
but i know that one day you're going away
wherever you go and whenever you leave
please remember to remember me
when you decide that it's time to return
this is where i will be
waiting for you
