In the 2nd part B, the song modulates up a half step, and I see no way around
moving the capo up one fret to the 5th get there.

|-0---------------||-0---------------|
|-0---------------||-0---------------|
The most musical way of doing this, which I have found so far, is to play the
bar of F#11, break for a bar while moving the capo, and then play the bar of
what will then be G11. (In the break, the singer can hold the "you" for show.)
From here just repeat part A until fading out. The chords names will then be:
| C | G/F | Em7 | F#/A |
| Dm7 | G11 | C | Dm7 G11 |
LYRICS
**********
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning
'though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
You must have known that I was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And I know that this must be heaven
How could so much love be inside of you
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

version 3
NOTE:
The Bm11/E and Cm11/F could be substituted by E7sus4 and F7sus4.
I just felt that the m11 chords just worked slightly better in
those two chorus progressions, but it's a very subtle difference.
