Never Be the Sun - Nanci Griffith

You'll never be the sun turning in the sky

And you won't be the moon above us

On a moonlit night

And you won't be the stars in heaven

Although they burn so bright

But even on the deepest ocean

You will be the light

You may not always shine as you go

Barefoot over stones

You might be so long together

Or you might walk alone

And you won't find that love comes easy

But that love is always right

So even when the dark clouds gather

You will be the light

And if you lose a part inside

When love turns around on you

Leaving the past behind

Is knowing you'll do as you always do

Holding you blind

Keeping you true

Youll never be the sun turning in the sky

And you won't be the moon above us

On a moonlit night

And you won't be the stars in heaven

Although they burn so bright

But even on the deepest ocean

You will be the light

You will be the light

You will be the light
