In celebration of all things sunny, Parking Suns now features every Sunday a different YouTube music clip about the sun!
This week’s entry: U2 sings their version of Cole Porter’s “Night and Day.”
Night and day
You are the one,
Only you
Beneath the moon
And under the sun.
Whether near to me or far,
It’s no matter,
Darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day.
