Lyrics for Look into the Sun

Took a sad song of one sweet evening I smiled and quickly turned away It's not easy singing sad songs But still the easiest way I have to say So when you look into the sun See all the things we haven't done Oh was it better then to run Than to spend the summer crying Now summer cannot come anyway I had waited for time to change her The only change that came was over me She pretended not to want love I hope she was only fooling me So when you look into the sun Look for the pleasures nearly won Or was it better then to run Than to spend the summer singing And summer could have come in a day So if you hear my sad song singing Remember who and what you nearly had It's not easy singing sad songs When you can sing the song to make me glad So when you look into the sun And see the words you could have sung It's not too late, only begun We can still make summer Yes, summer always comes anyway So when you look into the sun And see the words you could have sung It's not too late, only begun Look into the sun
