I'D Give You the Sun

I’d give you the sun

If I had one wish for thee,
and the power to make it be,
I’d wish for you the sun above,
all its power, strength and love.

I’d give you the sun so bright,
and let it send forth your light.
To radiate to all you know,
your warmth, your joy, your inner glow.


I’d let you shine your beam so far,
to light a path from star to star.
And make a journey without end,
From loving friend to loving friend.

I’d give you the sun my love,
I’d give you the sun.
I’d place it at your feet,
I’d give you the sun.
