You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You made me happy when you were sane. Singing to me, in that little coffee shop, I wanted you to continue singing forever. I was lost to the people around us. Your voice was my foundation. Your smile was my heart-beat. But now, your smile is a flickering, dying flame. But now, your heart-beats are counted. We dreamed of traveling the world. We dreamed sky scrapers and lion tamers. We dreamed of a life that never will be. You’re still my sunshine, Please don’t take that away.

Dearest
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You made me happy when you were sane. Singing to me, in that little coffee shop, I wanted you to continue singing forever. I was lost to the people around us. Your voice was my foundation. Your smile was my heart-beat. But now, your smile is a flickering, dying flame. But now, your heart-beats are counted. We dreamed of traveling the world. We dreamed sky scrapers and lion tamers. We dreamed of a life that never will be. You’re still my sunshine, Please don’t take that away.
