Sunsets and Silences

I smile with the morning and the day

runs away

I got good news sitting warm in my hands Sun on the

table, a laugh in the room

I keep feeling lucky for where I stand But somehow the hours

keep leaving too soon You look at the window

like something is gone I want to hold onto the light with

you I'm dancing inside while the whole day moves on

Trying to make one bright minute stay true

I don't wanna lose this I don't wanna rush past us Every

little second slips Right

through my open hands I'm so happy,

but the time flies

You get quiet and it breaks my heart I keep reaching for

the slow side But the day keeps pulling us apart

I'm so happy,

can we stay here Just a little longer in this light If

you're sad, let me hold you

Till the fast world softens for tonight

We take the long way just to borrow some air I tell

a joke and you give half a smile I know joy can

feel strange when you're carrying care So I'll walk beside your hurt

for a while If my heart is singing,

it still hears your pain We can make room for both in

the same sky Let the clock keep turning

I will not leave your side If the night comes early

I'll be your little fire

I'm so happy, but the time flies

If you're sad, let me hold you tonight
