nothing and everything

sun shines on my closed eyes-it all comes flooding back to me.
sometimes the simple things just seem to lose significance,
but rays from high remind my mind to find the beauty in
everything...everything that's ever come my way...

and i can't recall the last time that i cried...
sometimes i feel i'd give it all if just one single tear would fall
to cleanse myself of hopes that died
and disavow them all.

Take my hand...let's watch the sand as time slips away
Take my hand...let's run across the sand and make the most of today

You told me I could never be your closest friend...
That I could never be so bright as to take the place of the sun.
It's a task to which I'll tend...
When it comes to you, I'll be second to no one.

it can't touch you like this...
it can't tell you you're perfect..
i can dedicate my light to you, and you alone...
My everything.

Take my hand...let's watch the sand as time slips away
Take my hand...let's run across the sand and make the most of today

I'll be your sun...
I'll never set -
But if you ask me to,
Then I'll be the stars.
I'll tell the night
To cover us -
We'll never be alone again
