In speaking about the origins of the song’s inspiration-
a warm Spring sun as indication that a cold Winter season is at an end,
Harrison stated:
“… seems as if winter in England goes on forever,
by the time spring comes you really deserve it.” (quote from last.fm)

Here Comes the Sun
(Lyrics: a happy read!)
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun,
and I say, It’s all right
Little darling
It’s been a long, cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels 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 returning to the faces
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
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling
I feel that 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
It’s all right
It’s all right
…
Here Comes the Sun
(Audio: a happy listen!)

I have heard the song so many times and when you hear the message behind the song it means so much more. I totally relate to these lyrics!
