Would you believe me if I told you she is sunshine
Would you understand the beauty that I see
Her fire burns so bright, that I know it can only be sunshine
I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me
But I know that a radiance so true cannot be mine
And yet it seems I'm dazzled by the shine
This I can't deny
And yet I stand, smiling as the lustre meets my eyes
Smiling though the glimmer leaves me blind
Oh, but I could hold the fire that is so elusive
Then I know that I could smile forever more
And in my heart, there lies a curious condition
That it always wants the light it cannot touch
Would you believe me if I told you she is sunshine
Would you understand the beauty that I see
Her fire burns so bright, that I know it can only be sunshine
I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me
And I know that if I fly too high I'm bound to fall
'Cause these wings of wax can't hold me after all
Oh, but still I try
And yet it seems that though she means no ill, I never learn
That to stay within her light is to be burned
Oh, but I could hold the fire that is so elusive
Then I know that I could smile forever more
And in my heart, there lies a curious condition
That it always wants the light it cannot touch
Would you believe me if I told you she is sunshine
Would you understand the beauty that I see
Her fire burns so bright, that I know it can only be sunshine
I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me
I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me
I feel the rays of a distant light wash over me
