I'm not really a fan of summer, but I have enjoyed sitting out in the garden this year, especially in the late afternoon and evening. It's my peaceful sanctuary where I do most of my songwriting. Now the days are getting shorter, but the Sun still has a magical vibrance in the sky. Really, where would we be without Mama Sun???

Lyrics:

Hey, Mama Sun! Hey, Mama Sun!
Your golden smile let's me know the day has begun
Hey, Mama Sun! Hey, Mama Sun!
Wanna thank you for bringing us life and fun

Hey, Mama Sun, sitting in the sky
Your warmth fills me up
A natural high
You're glowing and
I'm growing in your rays

Hey, Mama Sun, you make the world go round
Without you
There'd be no plants in the ground
You're breathtaking with your
Garden-making ways

And I love the gifts you give from above

Hey, Mama Sun! Hey, Mama Sun!
Your golden smile let's me know the day has begun
Hey, Mama Sun! Hey, Mama Sun!
Wanna thank you for bringing us life and fun

Hey, Mama Sun, as you rise and set
You remind me
There's no need to fret
Every morning brings
A brand new chance to shine

Hey, Mama Sun, I know that you can't stay
Your visits get shorter
Less of you in my day
But I still see your splendor
In the autumn berries on the vine

And I love the gifts you give from above

Hey, Mama Sun! Hey, Mama Sun!
Your golden smile let's me know the day has begun
Hey, Mama Sun! Hey, Mama Sun!
Wanna thank you for bringing us life and fun

Oh, I know you've got to move on
Got to share your solar wonder
So thanks for all you've done
And say hello to our friends Down Under

Hey, Mama Sun, I know you're not really gone
You'll still be there to greet me
On a frosty dawn
Then whisper goodbye
Through the trees in the afternoon

Hey, Mama Sun, with your pastel glow
Reflecting on the crystals
Of new fallen snow
Reminds us you'll be bringing
Spring back soon

And I love the gifts you give from above

Hey, Mama Sun! Hey, Mama Sun!
Your golden smile let's me know the day has begun
Hey, Mama Sun! Hey, Mama Sun!
Wanna thank you for bringing us life and fun
