You Make the Sun Shine

Words and Music ©2016, 2025 by John Speckine Lyrics below. This is a REMIX of 'Dance with Me'. Back in 2012 and 2013, I was playing a lot of 'open mic' nights and in one particular venue, one of the bartenders and I hit it off and so I decided I'd write something for her without going overboard. I mean, there was nothing romantic about our relationship - we just liked talking to each other - hence the Verse line: "Got no delusions, got no wild dreams; there's nothing more here than it seems." So I wrote what turned out to be the Verses of this song. Problem: I had no Chorus. Then one day, three or four years later, I'm screwing around on my piano and BOOM!! I started playing what would become the Chorus of this song. I thought the two parts might fit together so I tried it out. I had to rewrite some of the Verses a little to make the song make more sense, but I think it turned out okay. LYRICS: I come here to play my guitar Walk in the door and there you are Smile in your eyes, a smile on your face Spreadin' charm all over the place You said hello and told me your name Now nothing's gonna be the same We talk and talk, night after night When I'm with you, I feel alright Got no delusions, got no wild dreams There's nothing more here than it seems But the smile in your eyes and on your face Can send me into outer space Don't you know You make the sun shine Yeah, you make the sun shine Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me BREAK Every time we're out on the floor Well, I like it more and more Feels like we've been Dancing together for years And the smile in your eyes and on your face Makes my world a happy place Don't you know you make the sun shine Yeah, you make the sun shine Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me Words and Music ©2016 by John Speckine
