Lyrics
How dare the sunshine shine on me today
Witnessing my slowly breaking heart
No pain describes the words I need to say
No sadness sad enough to play a part
Each memory is a grain of sand in time
That I still keep but you have left behind
I will live in your heart you in mine
There we'll safely stay for all of time
I will paint you sunsets yellow red
And read you all the poems in my head
I will see you in a starry sky
In my heart you will never die
Every time I feel a soft wind blow
I will hear you gently say hello
And every time my heart is full of fear
I will close my eyes and know you're near
I'll picture you a flower in the spring
Your sunshine be the smiles
Your tears the rain
I will be the bird and you my wings and
We will fly together once again once again
