You Are The Sun
(Johan Bengtsson)
In the latest hours of the night
Just before the birds start singing
When you can spot the first signs of the sunrise…
And as the sun rises
It suddenly becomes clear
What you really, really are…
I can see what you mean
I can feel what you feel
When I hold you in my arms
I’m holding life itself
When your body’s close to mine
And your scent’s almost a crime
I understand who it is
I’m in love with
You are the sun, so bright
That brings light to it all
You are the snow, so white
Beginning to fall
You are the sea, so deep
And I am the shore
But you are still so modest
And it’s that I adore
You may sleep on my arm
If the night gets to long
When you’re breathing a Summer breeze
Blows through my hair
And you’re light as an elf
When you lie by yourself
And your eyes are brown like chocolate
And deep in you I see
You are the sun, so bright
That brings light to it all
You are the snow, so white
Beginning to fall
You are the sea, so deep
And I am the shore
But you are still so modest
And it’s that I adore
And whatever they have told you
Whatever lies they’ve said
Remember that I love you
And that will never change
So hold my hand
We will find some place
Where the sun can shine
And the sea touches the shore
You are the sun, so bright
That brings light to it all
You are the snow, so white
Beginning to fall
You are the sea, so deep
And I am the shore
But you are still so modest
And it’s that I adore
You are the sun, so bright
The snow, so white
The sea, so deep
And I am the shore
And over the horizon
The sun is slowly rising
