lyrics

Sunshine melts away
Life only gets tougher
One thing I will say
Don't wilt while you suffer

Today reminds me once again
Years go by, gone forever
All we love will disappear
Shed your tears, time keeps moving

Darkness lives beside
Light within returning
Hopeful wishes lie...remember
Pilot light is burning

Today reminds me once again
Moments lived exist forever
All we need is always near
Shed your fear, life keeps moving
