Sunny, yesterday my heart was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
Oh, the dark days are done, and the bright days are here
My Sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you
Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet
Sunny, thank you for the love that you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
Now I feel 'bout ten feet tall
Oh sunny one so true, I love you
Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see
Yeah sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z
My life was torn like a windblown sand
And the rock was formed when you held my hand
Sunny one so true, I love you
Yes, yes
Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face
Oh sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace
Oh, you're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny one so true, I love you
Oh sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face
Oh sunny, thank you for that gleam that glows with grace
Yeah, you're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny one so true, I love you
Sunny, baby, I love you
Oh, I love you Sunny
Sunny, I love you
You're my complete desire

Hebb wrote the song after his older brother, Harold, was stabbed to death outside a Nashville nightclub. Hebb was devastated by the event and many critics say it inspired the lyrics and tune. According to Hebb, he merely wrote the song as an expression of a preference for a "sunny" disposition over a "lousy" disposition following the murder of his brother.
Hebb has said about "Sunny": "All my intentions were to think of happier times and pay tribute to my brother – basically looking for a brighter day – because times were at a low. After I wrote it, I thought 'Sunny' just might be a different approach to what Johnny Bragg was talking about in 'Just Walkin' in the Rain.'"
