Child of the sun, I should have known That the two of us could never be A love such as yours, gentle and free Can never be wasted on a fool like me And now you are gone And it will take me long To get over losing you But the time that we had Time for you and me Was better than anything I'd ever need Child of the sun, shine your sweet rays Even if it's from far away Keep stirring me gently Put the bright colours back To everything that is grey Child of the sun, go live your life I'm on the bright stars as you please But if their glow should falter Or if they burn out, you can know Where your warmth is still needed Child of the sun Come on back home to me I'm not prescribing this is where you belong I just know that this feeling is strong I'm never claiming that you made a mistake I just love you for heaven's sake Child of the sun, shine your sweet rays Even if it's from far away Keep stirring me gently Put the bright colours back To everything that is grey Child of the sun, go live your life I'm on the bright stars as you please But if their glow should falter Or if they burn out, you can know Where your warmth is still needed Child of the sun Come on back home to me Child of the sun Come on back home to me Child of the sun, shine your sweet rays Thank you for watching!
