Lyric

I sank to the bottom of the night

Where even breathing felt like pain

I learned to smile without a sound

Like quiet streets after the rain

In every mirror I would meet

A stranger wearing out my name

The world was washed in grayscale tones

And hope became a fragile flame

Then one day

Like a book turning pages by the wind

You stepped into my winter

And the cold grew thin

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

Turning my night into day

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

You don’t let me fade away

(You are my sunshine.)

Your smile was warm as morning light

Spilling gold across the floor

It found the lock inside my chest

And opened what I hid before

I was afraid to reach for love

To lose, to break, to disappear

But you held my shaking hands so tight

Like courage whispered in my ear

You said, “Stay close,”

And something in me finally moved

A door that hadn’t opened once

Since I was bruised

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

Outrunning every shadow line

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

I can breathe, and I’m alive

(You are my sunshine.)

I never said the words “help me,”

I wore “I’m fine” like borrowed clothes

I folded up my broken parts

So no one ever truly knows

But your eyes

They were honest, they were bright

A gentle kind of fearless light

That stayed with me through all the night

You didn’t try to fix my scars

You let them speak, you let them show…

And somehow love became the place

Where all my pain could finally go

Now sunrise lives inside my ribs

A quiet fire, steady, new

The pieces of my yesterday

Still ache sometimes

But I walk through

I don’t forget the dark I knew

I just don’t live there anymore

You taught my heart a different sound

Like waves returning to the shore

And if someday

I meet a soul lost in the cold

I’ll be a little sunrise too

Brave and gold

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

Every time you say my name

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

You make me feel okay again

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

You are my sunshine

I’m not afraid to love today

(You are my sunshine… my sunshine.)

So here I am, still healing slow

But now the light feels like the truth

‘Cause when you hold me close enough…

I finally come back to you
