Sunshine on the water looks so lovely, sunshine almost always makes me high

Sunshine On My Shoulders

Carly Rae Jepsen

(cover of John Denver)

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy

Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry

Sunshine on the water looks so lovely

Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you

I would give a day sure to make you smile

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy

Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you

I would give to you a day just like today

If I had a song that I could sing for you

I would sing a song to make you feel this way

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy

Sunshine almost always makes me high

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy

Sunshine almost always makes me high

The past couple days have been gorgeous. Although, to be honest, today was a little bit hotter than I generally prefer my weather. All in all however it was a postiviely lovely day. Let summer begin! Carly Rae Jepsen's album, Tug of War, was the soundtrack of last summer. I love her cover of John Denver's "Sunshine on my shoulders". The whole album just has that perfectly summery, bouncy, happy, sunshine-y feeling to it and brings to mind walks on hot summer nights to visit with friends. Perfectly lovely.

I felt like this picture suited the "sunshine on the water is so lovely" line. The rest of the song just sums up how I've been feeling the past couple days. It is amazing how profound an effect the weather has on my mood. I took this picture a couple years ago when my roommates and I drove out to Jasper for a picnic. That might have made today even more perfect...although frankly the past couple days have been near perfection so I'm okay with being in Edmonton.
