Bouncing drop of sunshine You brighten my world with your vibrant rays I wish you'd stay until the end of time And together we'd spend endless days I love it when you are around Turning sorrows into glee The way you like to jump about With such a blissful energy We both view life quite differently From how the rest of our world sees As whilst they stand there awkwardly We just dance because we're free
But as the sun begins to set We flee in opposite directions Still I take every chance I get To carry on our conversations For every reason I can think of I send you haphazardly constructed messages I don't yet know if I'm in love But still I wait for your responses With every line that you deliver Excitement fills me and makes me shiver I read the words that you create And feel my face vasodilate It matters not what we discuss I'll promptly respond without a fuss For just those extra daylight hours Help me survive the winter showers
I know so much about you now You love to spring from place to place I hope one day my cold feet will allow For me to join you in this race But in the meantime here I stay As you disappear in to the horizon I'm stuck here as you zoom away Chasing your dreams where the sun is rising You're out there doing what you should If only, just like you, I could I'm here and here is where I'll be For a whole two years of eternity
But maybe I can chase you still If continue our long chats you will I know we may seem far apart But this was never an easy art So don't leave those precious memories behind Because being with you makes me feel alive Don't let my blue sky simply fade into grey Bouncing drop of sunshine, please don't bounce away
Wrote this about a girl who I'm really going to miss. She went to live in another country and this expresses how I felt when I wrote it, before she left. Hope you enjoy it.
