Sun
All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of cloudless blue
If the sun was a spotlight I’ve no doubt it’d beam on you
If the moon was a nightlight it’d bring me home to you
If life’s great burden shouldered worth I’ve no doubt you’d pull me through
Clear heavens, smiles, laughs, contentment- and you
All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of cloudless blue
