He's standing with strangers outside the school gates And waits for a bundle of joy that he made With a woman he loved, she loved him until fate Twisted and turned life around She kept the kid for a child needs the love of a mother Like the blood of a rose needs a lover It's a role that is whole, a bond that no one can deny But it's hard to forget what he had And pretend that he's starting again Lost in the very once it was family Where is the sunshine now? The dead end of emptiness sits in his soul Like Buddha, building a hole in the wall Removing the meanings of things which belong To a life which no longer is his School bells ring, little hearts sing There's a stampede of feet to the rhythm of spring They spill out like jelly beans into the hands once again But it's hard to forget what he had And pretend that he's starting again Lost in the very once it was family Where is the sunshine now? Lost in the very once it was family Where is the sunshine now? She's running towards him, the light that he's waited so long to see Her face is in bloom like a cherry tree Happiness wells in his eyes Run to your daddy, my love, he says I'll do my best to pretend there's nothing wrong Let's go sing our song And we'll sing until we're Lost in the very once it was family Where is the sunshine now? Now, now Now, now
