about

This song had a long journey getting born, and almost died a few times along the way. It feels to me like one of those songs from the seventies, just a little song that feels like a late night in the kitchen, after the lightweights have gone home.

lyrics

The Sun
© Julie Christensen

Long nights when you were mine
Might rain but it would clear up
We bathed in love and moonshine
No reason not to stay up
And holler at the dawning day
To just come on Just come on _____

And the sun________was shinin' down on me
For a little while
Some kind of heaven was smilin' down on me
Felt like I was a little child
Yeah, the sun____ was shinin down on me
For a little while
For a little while

Now days are full of rain
There's no sign of a let up
These days it's hard to name
A good reason just to get up
And face down every cloud
And darkness comin' on It's comin' on_____

But the sun________was shinin' down on me
For a little while
Some kind of heaven was smilin' down on me
Like when I was a little child
Yeah, the sun________was shinin' down on me
For a little while
For a little while
For a little while
For a little while_________.
