Sarah’s Sunshine
Written by: Clay Bell

I’m the type to wish on stars
Wherever you are
I wish I were there

Traveled halfway around the world
Just to lose a girl
From my own hometown

I am riding someone else’s high
On a matchbook on now that I love
Inscribed inside is a hand drawn sun
It’s signed by “Sarah – with love”

Now I’m holding on to Sarah’s sunshine
Feels so warm against my skin
Holding on to Sarah’s sunshine
And thinking of what could have been

Last call had been called
Just you against the wall
With neon hair

Took a walk down a dirt road
Just west of Birmingham
Where my heart lay exposed

We talked of love
We talked of pain
Until the sun came
But you never told me your name

In my coat pocket
You slipped your gift
With a slight of hand
And now I’m just trying to understand

So I’m holding on to Sarah’s sunshine
Feels so warm against my skin
Holding on to Sarah’s sunshine
And thinking of what could have been

Nowhere to write, nowhere to call
And I can’t reach out to Sarah at all
It coulda’ been bad, it coulda’ been great
A mistake, but the worst part
Is we’ll never, we’ll never know

So I’m holding on to Sarah’s sunshine
Feels so warm against my skin
Holding on to Sarah’s sunshine
And thinking of what could have been
