There is water seperating us , love, in the form of vast oceans and seas
And so as I stand here the sun rises and makes an offer to me
An offer to keep the lovely girl and the smile upon her face
It offers me the gift of it's rays pouring down and feeling like my embrace

I inquire the sun asking why would it give me such a precious thing
A humble man whose heart is weak and has nothing else to bring
And it answers me by saying, "Dear sir, that lady shines brighter than I"
"And I would give my place in the heavens to keep the tears from her eyes"

I look, I smile, and shed a tear, not knowing what to say
Remembering the heartache that came with missing her each day
The girl with a smile upon her face who shines brighter than all
Who my heart belongs to throughout mankind's rise and fall

But in distress, I begged the sun, "Please stay throughout the night"
"For the setting sun will bring painful slumber since I'm not there to hold her tight"
And the sun calmly said, "Fear not, dear sir, for I am what lights the moon"
"And in it's silent glow she will therefore know that you are coming soon"

I look, I smile, and shed a tear, thanking the sun from my soul
Knowing that he will hold her for me when things are beyond my control
For the sun does shine ever vigilant and will do so far beyond man's reign
In this do I find comfort knowing she will smile again

And so hear I stand beyond her reach, beyond this horizon of blue
Praying that the sun keeps his promise and praying I might return to you
And if a tear may begin to fall upon your lovely face
Walk outside, dearest lovely girl, and feel with the sun my embrace
