Last Updated: June 12, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)
Everybody needs a little sunshine in their lives. Check out my list of the top sunshine songs. They are great because the word sunshine is in the song title.
We include several types of music including Rock, Country, Pop, and R&B. In addition, we include songs of yesteryear from 1966 all the way to today.
It is interesting the different ways to use sunshine in the song title. It can be a good day for sunshine. One can steal sunshine.
The sunshine can shine and also shine in one particular spot like a shoulder. The sunshine also shines on the ground because people can walk on it. (See a list of walk songs) Apparently, people can capture it because you can stick it in your pocket.
People must also resemble sunshine as they are the sunshine of their lives. Lastly, you can also take sunshine away because sometimes there isn’t any.
