*Sunshine*

(Verse 1)

He lays there looking out the window,

staring into the world outside.

He thinks about the better days

and all the things he wanted to do-

before he died.

He asks her to come closer.

He finds comfort in her face.

She is his sunshine.

He needs her more with each passing day.

(Chorus)

Everybody needs a little sunshine-

to chase away the rain.

It's the healing power within two souls

that helps to ease the pain.

Finding that person in your life

that can make it all worthwhile

is a promising ray of light

that can always make you smile.

A little touch or a gentle word

It's in the simple things.

Words can't describe the feelings-

that finding your sunshine brings.

Without that special someone-

It's hard to carry on.

No one wants to imagine life

Once their sunshine is gone.

(Verse 2)

She sits there watching him breathing.

Knowing he is suffering drives her insane.

She would do anything to make him better.

She wishes she could take away his pain.

Without him, she knows she would be incomplete.

There is no way she's strong enough to let him go.

He is her sunshine

and the piece that makes her whole.

(Chorus)

Everybody needs a little sunshine-

to chase away the rain.

It's the healing power within two souls

that helps to ease the pain.

Finding that person in your life

that can make it all worthwhile

is a promising ray of light

that can always make you smile.

A little touch or a gentle word

It's in the simple things.

Words can't describe the feelings-

that finding your sunshine brings.

Without that special someone-

It's hard to carry on.

No one wants to imagine life

Once their sunshine is gone.

(Verse 3)

They both remain silent,

afraid to ruin the moment with words.

They rely on their connection

knowing thoughts don't have to be spoken to be heard.

Through sickness and health,

they have remained by each other's side

Yet deep down they are mildewed

from the tears their hearts have cried.

They are complete opposites

but this time they agree

The thought of losing their sunshine

brings them both to their knees.

(Chorus)

Everybody needs a little sunshine-

to chase away the rain.

It's the healing power within two souls

that helps to ease the pain.

Finding that person in your life

that can make it all worthwhile

is a promising ray of light

that can always make you smile.

A little touch or a gentle word

It's in the simple things.

Words can't describe the feelings-

that finding your sunshine brings.

Without that special someone-

It's hard to carry on.

No one wants to imagine life

Once their sunshine is gone.
