"Here Comes the Sun" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles
from their 1969 album Abbey Road. It was written by George Harrison

Here Comes The Sun - Richie Havens (1971)

Little darling, it's been a long, long lonely winter
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darling, the smiles are returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since they've been there
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darling, I see the ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
It's all right
No, No, No, No...
It's all right


Songwriters: George Harrison
