To Be Without You, Is Like Askin' the Day To Start Without the Sunshine

To Be Without You, Is Like Askin’ The Day To Start Without The Sunshine When I arise in the morning I think of you When I lay it down to sleep I think of you too You always on my mind And to be without you Is like askin’ the day to start without the sunshine I can’t eat I can’t sleep You like that nourishment for my bones Without you I get weak You’re my dessert When I need something sweet You mean the world to me And as I sat behind those walls I feel like a man in a dark hall Unable to see the outside Cause the here and now sometimes clouds my mind You everything I need and then some Like Forrest Gump did it I just wanna run Into your arms But it all comes in time But I wanted to let you know That your always on my mind And to be without you, is like askin’ the day to start without the sunshine © Clyde Phillips 11/04/2009

Oh, Clyde, this is true love for sure! How wonderful you have someone who makes you feel this way! I hope she is in your life now and forever. Really enjoyed the reference to Forrest Gump and running into her arms! She is, surely, your sunshine! Love, Carolyn
