Sunshine

I forgot what this feeling was until I met you...

Driving in the darkness that surrounds

Running away from fear that abounds

Frightening creatures litter the roadside

A lone set of lights on the roadway ride

Horizon filled with embers of the night

Riding down this highway of moonlight

 

Unsuccessful attempts to cover my tracks

Leaves the road behind littered with cracks

Looking in my rear view I see what's behind

The diabolical demons lurking in my mind

With their malevolent mastermind schemes

Come to prey upon much sweeter dreams

 

Instead of focusing on things come and past

I need to turn 'round to see the sun rising fast

The horizon fills with candy colored clouds

Shadow trees lose all their darkened shrouds

As I look on down the road, I continue driving

Ahead I see such a beautiful new day arriving

 

The ruins of yesterday are long since forgotten

The sorrowful memories, moldered and rotten

Die quick as I see you coming into my sight

And with the dawning of a bright new light

No matter which direction I happen to veer

I know because of you, my path stays clear

 

I'm on the road to paradise, to see my girl

She shines so bright, like a newborn pearl

I plucked her from the dawn's open shell

Now I'm caught under her sunshine spell

The beautiful little dreamer feels industrious

Here in sun-kissed reveries she is illustrious

 

She is all that keeps me continuing forward

Right on down the road, flying free as a bird

Though rain begins to fall, the sun holds fast

Though clouds may gather, I can still see past

Deep in my heart, you'll always have a home

Wherever your sunshine may choose to roam
