Daylight falls and I'm lost in the big parade
Hold my hand, darling, I'm afraid of the daylight
Shade is dark
Cool and languid for life or love
Safe in shadows; never stark as the daylight
As the daylight

When I was just knee high,
My Momma told me, never try,
To be someone that I am not
Yet over time I had forgot,
The wandering child, so lost at play:
He's found himself but he can't find his way,
In the daylight
Oh, the daylight

Ooh, daylight
Ooh, daylight

Life is short, and there's no turning back the time
Fragrant meadows and rocks to climb in the daylight
In my mind,
There's a corner I need to turn
Lessons lived is a lesson learned in the daylight
In the daylight

I miss the forest shade,
You took me there, the promise I made,
To never leave the dark so deep
Safe and soothing, yet I fear,
As I recall and now reflect,
I see it's safer to connect,
To the daylight
Oh, the daylight (Light)

Ooh, daylight
Ooh, daylight

Daylight falls and I'm lost in the big parade
Hold my hand, darling, I'm afraid of the daylight
Of the day
