When I was young, lying in the grass
-1 2 -2’ -3 2 2 -2’ -2 -1
I felt so safe in a warming bath
-3 -3” 3
Of sunlight
2 -2’ -2
Of sunlight
-1 -1 2 -2’ -3 2 -2’ -2 -1
The vast open sky could do no harm
-1 2 -2’ -3 2 2 -2’ -2 -2
Like an embrace of a mother’s arms
-3 -3” 3 2 -2’ -2
In sunlight, in sunlight [2x]
-1 2 -2’ -3 2 -2’ -2 -1
With every year that came to pass
-1 2 -2’ -3 2 2 -2’ -2 -2
More clouds appeared til the sky went black
-3 -3” 3 -3 -3” 3 2 -2’ -2
And there was no sunlight, no sunlight. (x2)
2 -1 -1
anymore.
-1 -4 -4 -3 -3” 3 -3” -1
It disappeared at the same speed
-1 -1 -4 -4 -3 -3” 3 -3” -1 -1
As the idealistic things I believed
-1 -1 -4 -4 -3 -3” 3 -3” 3 -3 -3” 3
When the optimist died inside of meeeeeee
-3 -3” 3 2 -2’ -2
No sunlight, no sunlight (x2)
[REPEAT THIS VERSE ONCE MORE]
-3 -3” 3 2 -3 3
no sunlight, no sunlight.
-3 -3” 3 2 -2’ -2
no sunlight, no sunlight. (x2)
-3 -3” 3
No sunlight,

anymore.
