If morning light brings tears of grief
And clouds are in the way
Just close your eyes and find relief
In your last sunny day
Should you recall when skies were blue
And daydreams filled your home
Good tidings will return to you
Down every road you roam.

A smile will stretch across your face
Unlike any before
When memories guide you to the place
Where light shines, evermore
You’ll keep your faith forever near
When darker hours unfold
If you recall when days were clear
And paths were lined in gold.

If morning light brings bouts of pain
Without a reason why
Just close your eyes, free life’s disdain
And gaze across the sky
You’ll once again be in your prime
With little cause to stray
Should you relive the simpler time
Of your last sunny day.
