Lyrics

The Reason Why

Staring out my window, dreaming in the afternoon
The birds sitting on the roof next door are singing an Autumn tune
I try to sing along with them, but I can’t hit notes that high
And the sun and the moon are listening way up in the sky

Open up all the shutters, there’s a breeze blowing through the trees
I’m feeling a little shaky, just a little bit weak in the knees
My head’s full of questions, a tangle I’ve got to cut through
But as I pull on a dangling thread, all that’s left is a vision of you

You are the sun and the moon
You are the stars in the sky
You are the light in the darkness
You are the reason why

Everything’s going in circles, just like a merry-go-round
When the music stops, will we remember the sound?
Take my hand if we hurry, we can make the next ride
Either at rest or in motion, I just want to be by your side

You are the sun and the moon
You are the stars in the sky
You are the light in the darkness
You are the reason why

Instrumental Verse

You are the sun and the moon
You are the stars in the sky
You are the light in the darkness
You are the reason why

Staring out my window, dreaming in the afternoon
The birds sitting on the roof next door are singing an Autumn tune
