Lyrics
A ray of Sunshine to brush away your tears
And fields of flowers to wash away your fears
The sky is clear inside this memory of you
The days go faster, so now begin again
And alabaster was the color of your skin
The sky is blue, and I don't know what to do
The air is warm, but you are so cold
A gentle breeze to carry you away
The whispering trees, but I can't hear what they say
My mind is clear inside this memory of you
The years grow longer, and the waves are deeper still
You made me stronger, and so this poison pill will color everything I do,
Inside this memory of you, of you
No hint of rain, no clouds up in the sky
The day was perfect, and so you had to die
No hint of pain, no reason I can see
And all I have are these memories of you
A ray of Sunshine to brush away my tears
And fields of flowers to wash away my fears
The sky is clear inside this memory of you
A gentle breeze that carried you away
And whispering trees, but I don't know what they say
My mind is clear inside this memory of you
And everything I do for you
No hint of rain, no clouds up in the sky
The day was perfect, and so you had to die
No hint of pain, no reason I can see
And all I have are these memories of you
