Sunshine Charles by Tom Rapp Lyrics
Rapp
When Sunshine met Charles
They were both broken
They had long discussions
In the back of the car
They both agreed
It's hard not to love someone
When you first see
How fragile they are
They didn't make a sound
When the day of the angel
Is coming around
And how do you keep it together
In a world that's choking with harm
One way that they found
To keep it together
Was holding each other
Together in the dark
It's time not to be lost anymore
When the day of the angel
Is outside your door
She said, "All I want
Is something to believe in
Something I can hold in my hand
Something I can understand."
When they began unloving each other
The distance between them began to set in
She broke the rule about keeping it together
By taking things apart
And one thing was him
Yes, in bed but not in love
The day of the angel
Is one more thing gone
Love is a thing
That hangs on when it's over
Like unscrambling eggs
Or trying not to think
And uncertain smiles
They quickly grow older
With days of lost comfort
That no one can bring
There's nothing a friend can say
When the day of the angel
Is falling away
She said, "All I want
Is something to believe in
Something I can hold in my hand
Something I can understand."
She was sixteen
When she found Jesus
He was a Puerto Rican kid
And he lived next door
They got married
And they loved each other
All the way
Until the day they didn't anymore
It's time to recycle your pain
When the day of the angel
Comes back again
She said, "All I want
Is something to believe in
Something I can hold in my hand
Something I can understand."
