lyrics

The sun – beats me up in the morning
without warning – of the dawning
of another day – that’s on its way
But by noon – clouds come calling
rain starts falling – the sky takes on a
whole new attitude – and a different mood
And then the twilight draws her curtains
and then another day is through
and it feels just like the last one
cause I’m still missing you
Too soon our time was over
It seemed like we had only begun
you can depend upon tomorrow
but, you can’t count on the sun
The moon – she shines at night
like a big headlight – to blind my sight – And
hit me in the eye – and warn the sky
With her stars, she flies – but soon they hide
in a swirling tide – of clouds both black and gray
until they can’t stay
And then the dawn she paints her canvas
but the morning rain obscures the view
and subdues the awakening colors
while I’m still missing you.
Too soon it was all over
It seemed like we had only begun
You can depend upon tomorrow
But, you can’t count on the sun
