When I met you, you were but a little girl Scared of everything out there in the world Now you've grown and I've gotten rather old Scared of all the places where you'll roam Sometimes you're lost wondering where you'll go Without a friendly face to share your load Oh Cruel World, what have you done to me Put out the spark that would burn eternally Brown eyes, blues smiles And a sea of dreams in your mind If the sun don't shine in the morning when you wake up It's alright Cause you can make it in the candlelight What's in store, is there more Of that passion you ignore Are your dreams forgotten lore Of that heartbreak you adore The birds that fly above every dark cloud They're happy but I know they never will fly south Yet Mockingbirds, if the find the will to sing Will fly to wondrous places, never before seen Brown eyes, blues smiles And a sea of dreams in your mind If the sun doesn't shine in the morning when you wake up It's alright Cause you can make it in the candlelight Brown eyes, blues smiles And a sea of dreams in your mind If the sun doesn't shine in the morning when you wake up It's alright Cause you can make it in the candlelight
