LYRICS
Sunny Skies by James Taylor

Sunny Skies sleeps in the morning
He doesn't know when to rise
He closes his weary eyes upon the day
Look at him yawning
Throwing his morning hours away
He knows how to ease down slowly
Everything is fine in the end
And you will be pleased to know
That Sunny Skies hasn't a friend

Sunny Skies weeps in the evening
It doesn't much matter why
I guess he just has to cry from time to time
Everyone's leaving
And Sunny Skies has to stay behind

Still he knows how to ease down slow
Everything is fine in the end
And you will be pleased to know
That Sunny Skies hasn't a friend

Sunny Skies sleeps in the morning
He doesn't know when to rise
He closes his weary eyes upon the day
And throws it all away

Looking at the snow and trees that grow outside my window
Looking at the things that pass me by
Wondering if where I've been is worth the things I've been through
Ending with a friend named Sunny Skies

Today is my wife's 69th birthday. She loves her Sweet Baby James singing Sunny Skies. So thank you! Our daughter's Father/Daughter wedding dance was to Shower the People You Love!

No acting drama, no flashly costums, no moving around, the audience paying attention respectfully only to the music, not filming with smartphone. Peaceful atmosphere, being in the present, genuine performance, divine voice.

This is terribly sad and also terrifying to realize that this golden age of music is totally dead.
Greeting from France. I just discovered you.
Thank you for this wonderful spiritual music.

I would play this song for my daughter as I’d drive her to preschool…we’d belt it out each morning!! Such a sweet and beautiful memory 🥰

Another classic Taylor song. Brings me back to a younger me before life has worn me down, only to hear it again and so on.

The way he ends with, "Ending with a friend named Sunny Skies"actually brought tears to my eyes...perfect note and timing.

Sunny Skies sounds as good today as when I first heard it long ago!

Lots of memories we used to high and listening to his songs every where we go

A BIG, BIG talent. Such smooth but powerful voice, distinct and doesn't tire the listener. The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, John Denver, Jim Croce and he are few of the reasons why I'm a true blue romantic and music-impassioned. I tried to copy his voice but I'm hopelessly bass.

This was one of the first songs I learned with fingerstyle accompaniment as a teen learning guitar back ca. 1980. I love this song and play it to this day. Thank you, James and team, for bringing this recording of it to us! —Tom
