Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way
lately, I've been lonesome.
Blossom, it's been much too long a day,
seems my dreams have frozen,
melt my cares away.
Send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,
I know what you mean to say to me,
girl, it's all the same.
Blossom, there's an empty road behind,
sit you down beside me.
Blossom, there's a sweet dream on my mind,
there's a song inside me,
take these chains away.
Now, send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,
I know what you mean to say to me,
girl, it's all the same.
Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way
lately, I've been lonesome.
Blossom, it's been much too long a day,
seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.
Laaa laaa lalalalaaaa laaaa laaaa la la la la
