Baby im going out of town to handle some business 

For a few days 

But don't you worry 

'Cause I'll call you 

Like it's not 

Long distance 

'Cause I hate being away 

I hate being away from you 

I gotta go 

Even though I don't want to 

I'd rather stay 

Than to be away from you 



Since absence 

Has been known to 

Make the heart grow fonder 

Then you know 

That I miss you 

And this song 

Is just a reminder 

I hate being away 



I hate being away from you 

I've gotta go even though I don't want to 

I'd rather stay 

Than be away from you 

I can't wait to see your smiling face 

And cuddle up in front of the fireplace 

I'd rather stay 

Than be away from you 



Sometimes I find myself 

Reaching for you 

When talking on the phone 

Is all we can do 

But it won't be long until I'm back to you 

I'm counting the seconds 

The minutes 

The hours 

The days 

Until we're face to face 

'Cause I hate being away 



I hate being away from you 

I gotta go even though I don't want to 

I'd rather stay than to be away from you 

I can't wait to see your smiling face 

And cuddle up in front of the fireplace 

I'd rather stay than be away from you 



I hate being away from you 

I gotta go even though I don't want to 

I'd rather stay than to be away from you 

I can't wait to see your smiling face 

And cuddle up in front of the fireplace 

I'd rather stay than be away from you 



Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometime, to brighten up your day 

Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometimes, if it's only but a ray 



There are days when we all feel like 

We are lost in a maze, nothing's going our way 

It's just one of those days 

Can I get a witness, oh now 



At some point we all need something 

Or someone to come through with a kind word or two 

Something so small can make all the difference 

In the world, that's why 



Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometime, to brighten up your day 

Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometimes, if it's only but a ray 

Have you ever just needed a hug 

Or a pat on your back, feels so good to be loved 

Something so small can make all the difference 

In the world,ooh 



Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometime, to brighten up your day 

Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometimes, if it's only but a ray 

Every now and then when the clouds move in 

They're somewhat overbearing 

But before you know, the sun is in control 

And into your eyes it's staring 

Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometime,to brighten up your day 

Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometimes, if it's only but a ray 



Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometime,to brighten up your day 

Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometimes, if it's only but a ray 



Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometime,to brighten up your day 

Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometimes, if it's only but a ray 



Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometime,to brighten up your day 

Everybody needs a little sunshine, in your life 

Sometimes, if it's only but a ray
