Her father   says she has to have a name 
        G           Dm           G 
not the same as her mom's, but a name just the same 
                  C    F    C    F                  C     F  C  F C 
a little ray of sunshine         has  come into the world, 
a little ray of sunshine          in the shape of a girl.

We'll show her the dress that she'll wear

with the gold flowing hair that nature provided

I want to know if you think she looks good in the pink, 
                        G                          C   F  C  F  C F C 
that Grandma has bought her ... our own little daughter. 
 
F                      G 
She can make you feel good, 
F                G                       C   F C 
she can make you feel that it's all worthwhile, 
     F        C    F  C           F         C   F  C 
only by her smile,            only by her smile ...

Have you noticed she's just like her father, 
and I think that I'd rather  
her hair was much darker, 
a little ray of sunshine has come into the world, 
a little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl. 
 
She can make you feel good, 
she can make you feel that it's all worthwhile, 
only by her smile, only by her smile, only by her smile ... 
talkin' 'bout my little ray of sunshine, 
my little ray of sunshine, 
little ray of sunshine,
