I'm Gonna Let the Sunshine In Today

(Verse One)

I've been living here in darkness

With my back to the world

Because a broken heart can really bring you pain

So many memories and "what ifs"

And crystal framed photographs

Held me prisoner to the pitter patter of a cold, cold rain

(Bridge)

But now the times are changing

And my mind's rearranging

My heart seems to be on the mend

So I'm opening these curtains

Because one thing is certain

You're not worth the time my friend

(Refrain)

I'm gonna let the sunshine in today

Let it paint these walls yellow instead of grey

No more thinking of you, there's a better world out there

No more shadows in the darkness

I long to breathe some fresh air

I'm gonna let the sunshine in today

Time to let those old photos fade away

No more ghosts to haunt me because love is all around

I've been hiding here for ages

But now I'm ready to be found

(Verse 2)

Maybe the end's really a new beginning

To better brighter things

Because once at the bottom you can only go the other way

So many unanswered prayers

And mementos with dusty layers

Kept me hanging on to you instead of living for today

(Bridge)

But now the times are changing

And my mind's rearranging

My heart seems to be on the mend

So I'm opening these curtains

Because one thing is certain

You're not worth the time my friend

(Refrain)

I'm gonna let the sunshine in today

Let it paint these walls yellow instead of grey

No more thinking of you, there's a better world out there

No more shadows in the darkness

I long to breathe some fresh air

I'm gonna let the sunshine in today

Time to let those old photos fade away

No more ghosts to haunt me because love is all around

I've been hiding here for ages

But now I'm ready to be found

Yes, I'm ready to be found
