Her father   says she has to have a name 
        G5           D5           G5 
not the same as her mom's, but a name just the same 
                  C5    F5    C5    F5                  C5     F5  C5  F5 C5 
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 
                      D5                G5 
with the gold flowing hair that nature provided

A little ray of sunshine - 
                      A5                           D5 
I want to know if you think she looks good in the pink, 
                        G5                          C5   F5  C5  F5  C5 F5 C5 
that Grandma has bought her ... our own little daughter. 
 

F5                      G5 
She can make you feel good, 
F5                G5                       C5   F5 C5 
she can make you feel that it's all worthwhile, 
     F5        C5    F5  C5           F5         C5   F5  C5 
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,
