you are my sunshine - Christina Perri

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear how much I love you So please don't take my sunshine away The other night, dear, as I lay sleepin' I dreamt I held you in my tired arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I bowed my head and I cried You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know, dear, how much I love you So please don't take my sunshine away I've always loved you, made you happy And nothin' else could come between But now you've left me to love another And you shattered all my dreams You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know, dear, how much I love you So please don't take my sunshine away You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know, dear, how much I love you So please don't take my sunshine away

To the mothers who aren't sleeping That are having trouble feeding Too afraid to say they're not okay No, not at all To the mothers who feel empty That aren't sure they're even ready To be alone and responsible For somebody so small To the mothers who are lost Pulled underneath the waves Who need to cry for help But are drowning in their shame To the mothers who are falling And don't even make a sound Who don't know that they're broken Until they hit the ground This one's for you I've been there too I've been there too To the mother that's at home Scrolling through her phone Watching everybody else Make family look easy To the mom with a career Who can't take off a whole year So she has to pay somebody else To take care of her baby To the mothers who are lost Pulled underneath the waves Who need to cry for help But are drowning in their shame To the mothers who are falling And don't even make a sound Who don't know that they're broken Until they hit the ground This one's for you I've been there too And one day you'll discover Going from a woman to a mother It might break you but it might save you To the mother in the mirror Who wishes she was thinner 'Cause now her body isn't Somebody that she knows And to the mothers just like me Who fell apart so suddenly I hope you realize You're not alone This one's for you This one's for you 'Cause I've been there too I've been there too (I love you, mom)

Can you find the time To let your lover love you He only wants to show you The things he wants to learn too The hardest parts you'll get through And in the end you'll have your best friend Love like this may come once Baby it's fate Like a soul mate, he's your penguin Baby it's fate Baby it's fate Not luck Can you find the time to let your lover hold you He needs somebody to hold to His love is strong and so true His arrows aiming for you And he's the one that you were born to love Love like this may come once Baby it's fate Like a soul mate, he's your penguin Baby it's fate Baby it's fate Not luck Oo-ooh, oo-ooh Let go Let go Of time for you And I Let go Let go Of time for you And I Let go Let go Of time for you And I Love like this is all I want Baby we're fate Love like this may come once Baby we're fate Like a soul mate, you're my penguin Baby we're fate Baby it's fate Not luck

The sun is filling up the room And I can hear you dreaming Do you feel the way I do, right now? I wish we would just give up 'Cause the best part is falling Call it anything but love And I will make sure To keep my distance Say I love you When you're not listening And how long Can we keep this up, up, up? Please don't stand so close to me I'm having trouble breathing I'm afraid of what you'll see, right now I'll give you everything I am All my broken heartbeats Until I know you'll understand And I will make sure To keep my distance Say I love you When you're not listening And how long Can we keep this up, up, up? And I keep waiting For you to take me You keep waiting To say what we have So I'll make sure To keep my distance Say I love you When you're not listening And how long Can we keep this up, up, up? Make sure To keep my distance Say I love you When you're not listening And how long 'Til we call this love, love, love?
