> I just got sent an email of a band playing "Bring me Sunshine".I love the tune ad have never heard it before.  I believe it was written by Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee.  I have exhausted my fake books and other references and cannot find it.Would anyone happen to have a copy/leadsheet?

Dear Kevin,
Sorry, no lead sheet, but herewith the words and some details about the song.
Kind regards,
Bill.

Bring me Sunshine
Sylvia Dee (Words) - Arthur Kent (Music)

Bring me Sunshine, in your smile,
Bring me Laughter, all the while,
In this world where we live, there should be more happiness,
So much joy you can give, to each brand new bright tomorrow,

Make me happy, through the years,
Never bring me, any tears,
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above,
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.

Bring me Sunshine, in your eyes,
Bring me rainbows, from the skies,
Life's too short to be spent having anything but fun,
We can be so content, if we gather little sunbeams,

Be light-hearted, all day long,
Keep me singing, happy songs,
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above,
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.
