It would have been enough if, through endless clouds
A beam or two reached to the grass in the ground
If gray red and brown were all that I knew
But when the sun is in love with you it dresses you in blue

It would have been enough if once in my life
An hour of day broke through the night
I’d always remember the light I once found
But when the sun is in love with you, it comes back around

Sometimes when you look, I can’t meet your eye
I cast my head down and hide from the sky
I could not forget the darkness in me
But the minute you looked there was none left to see

It would have been enough if I had stayed cold
And seen through the glass a shimmer of gold
And believed you were keeping someone else warm
But when the sun is in love with you, it opens the door

Sometimes when you look, I can’t meet your eye

I cast my head down and hide from the sky
I could not forget the darkness in me
But the minute you looked there was none left to see
