How would I translate "You always bring the sunshine" in japanese?

I'm going to take a crack at this.

Itsudemo anata wa hikage ga motte kimasu.
いつでもあなたは日影がもってきます

I don't think this is right, though, so Japanese experts here, please correct. ^^ I'm not very good with adverbs.

I'd wait to let someone else check this, though, since I'm still pretty much a beginner.

いつでもあなたは日影がもってきます

If you want to go with this pretty literal translation (which works for me) I would just change it to

いつでもあなたは日影を持ってきます。

But it may not mean the exact same thing in Japanese as it does in English. Don't start booking a tattoo artist.

いつでもあなたは日影がもってきます means "the shade always brings you".

I think you should say (name)さんは僕の光です or (name)さんは僕にとって太陽のような人です. That will make your partner happy.
I just mention 僕の日光だ is funny.

I can't believe I almost actually got a sentence right...though very trivial...

Oh sorry. I mistook 日影(hikage) for 日陰(hikage).

All of you are correct on the meaning of 日影.
But in fact, Japanese associate "hikage" with 日陰(shade) first of all as well as I did.

And the cases that 日影 is used are limited　compared with 日陰.
example
夕暮れで日影がのびる。
障子（しょうじ）に日影がさす。

(name)さんは僕の光です or (name)さんは僕にとって太陽のような人です are better after all.
