I wanna sit and talk and laugh with you as the ends, I wanna see your smiling face before the new begins, You never know what it means to see the sunlight in your Hair and dancing everywhere. I wanna shout about it, But I keep quiet about it, I wanna laugh about it, But I don't joke about, Wanna live without it, But I can't do without it. I'm someone's daughter, An' your somebody's son, Can I ease your pain 'til the morning comes, I'm no one's daughter I belong to the sun, Gonna ease your pain 'til the morning comes. Keep looking for the reason high and low to let it go, Keep losing my mind looking for the peace that I'll never Find, I wanna know what it feels like to be the sunlight in Your hair and dancing everywhere. I wanna shout about it, But I keep quiet about it, I wanna laugh about it, But I don't joke about, Wanna live without it, But I can't do without it. I'm someone's daughter, An' your somebody's son, Can I ease your pain 'til the morning comes, I'm no one's daughter I belong to the sun, Gonna ease your pain 'til the morning comes
