who sings this song and what is the name?

Question

Ok its a female singer and its kind of a slow song I can't tell if its rock or country but you know some of those songs sound almost the same.

one of the verses are

Days go by, I don't know why

and towards the end of the song and I'm sure in most of it, it says something about sunny came home.

I really like the song and I would like to play it in my wedding so could you help me out a lil. Please Thanks.

Answer 1

The song is Sunny Came Home, by Shawn Colvin.

The melody is pretty, but the lyrics are kind of tragic.

Shawn Colvin

I don't really think of it as a wedding song...

Sunny came home to her favorite room
Sunny sat down in the kitchen
She opened a book and a box of tools
Sunny came home with a mission

She says days go by I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire

Sunny came home with a list of names
She didn't believe in transcendence
It's time for a few small repairs she said
Sunny came home with a vengeance

She says days go by I don't know why
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire

Get the kids and bring a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it

Days go by I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire

Light the sky and hold on tight
The world is burning down
She's out there on her own and she's alright
Sunny came home
Sunny came home...

Answer 4

No days go by, that I’m not thinking of you,
And no way can I, forget the things you do.
