sunrise
Shannon Hurley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got to reach you
I've got to see you
Let the light shine down on me
When the day breaks
And the sky is changing colors
Into something new
I want to see it with you
Sunrise
I want to see you again
Promise that you'll always stay
Sunrise
When the world is brand new
I want to see it with you

I want to touch you
I want to make you feel
Like you're the only one
In this world for me
I want to hold you
I want to make you see
That yesterday was long ago
And soon it will be

Sunrise
I want to see you again
Promise that you'll always stay
Sunrise
When the world is brand new
I want to see it with you

Cause I'm not ready to let this end
We can say all the sorries in the world
And still be friends
There's nothing I want more
Than flying home
Just to meet you

Sunrise
I want to see you again
Promise that you'll always stay
Sunrise




When the world is brand new
I want to see it with you
