Sunlight

© 2010 Mark Cote

I've smiled with the sun and cried with the moon
summers seem forever then their gone too soon

sister moonbeam she'd lend an ear
by the heavenly sunrise she is no longer here

          sunlight - what a surprise
          to awaken to a world now you're not by my side
          sunlight - blindingly wise
          when the moon shines softer into my blue eyes

I fell in love with a painted smile
but the colors wash away baby after awhile

I've felt the depth in a woman's eyes
learned all about the truth through clouded lies

          sunlight - the white is too bright
          the colors shine brighter by the morning light
          sunlight - blindingly wise
          when the moon shines softer into my blue eyes

I've felt so close but been far away
love like a rainbow it just fades away

temporary world is a paisley dream
where everything you see is not what they seem

          sunlight - blindingly wise
          when the moon shines softer into my blue eyes
          sunlight - blindingly wise
          when the moon shines softer into my blue eyes
