Lyrics
You may not care when I’m near you
And yet you fill my dreams
For when I see you and hear you
How different this world seems
Chorus:
Why is the sun brighter?
Why is the day lighter?
What makes the blue of the sea bluer
When I’m looking at you?
Why are the stars nearer?
Why is the sky clearer?
What makes the song of the birds newer
When I’m looking at you?
Why are the wild flowers showing colors glowing?
Why are the wild ferns growing taller too?
Why is the sun brighter?
Why is my heart lighter?
What makes the promise of heaven truer
When I’m looking at you?
