Lyrics
Chorus:
I remember a happy time
I remember it was so long ago
I remember everything was fine
I remember sadness I did not know
Dawn is breaking the pale gray sky
The first rays touch the earth
Caressing with fingers of warmth
Today I brushed the sleep from my eyes
The early morning was sunny and bright
The birds flying near, nothing to fear
Today the whole world was mine
Just as the sun was climbing high
Clouds blocked the way
Hiding all the sunshine
Tomorrow begins to slip away
The afternoon is cold and empty
The sun shivers and shakes
All alone, no fire to make
The sun does not shine today
And now the day is passing
The sun has failed
Dreams are not lasting
Tomorrow seems so far away
The time has come to shine
But no light remains
Only darkness and pain
Tomorrow the sun will not shine
