The Candle Thieves

The Sunshine Song

The Candle Thieves


I would buy you a rainbow
I would put it in a stream
If i sailed it down the river,
Would you send it back to me?

I would pick you some flowers
I would put them where everyone can see
I would let the sunshine on them
If you only smiled for me

'cause you are beautiful
But you've got to die someday
Oh oh oh oh
You know we can't stay young forever
But we can stay young for the rest of our days

If you called me indecisive,
Well, i'm not sure what i would say
If you left me on your door step,
Well i wouldn't go away

'cause you are beautiful
But you've got to die someday
Oh oh oh oh
And you are beautiful
But you've got to die someday
Oh oh oh oh
You know we can't stay young forever
But we can stay young for the rest of our days

I would pack a bowl of your worries
I would put them in a jar with all of mine
I would find a way to make you happy
If i only had the time

You know we can't stay young forever
But we can stay young for the rest of our days
You know we can't stay young forever
But we can stay young for the rest of our days
You know we can't stay young forever
But we can stay young for the rest of our days
