June Afternoon

Oh
Oh, I didn't get a chance to tell you
How I'd love to hold your hand
Just one more time and take you to that spot up on the hill
Between the castle and the dreary city skyline
Where we used to sit
And watch the cars and trucks hum down the highway
And you sat so close to me, I couldn't breathe
My hands were sweating and my mind was racing
You looked like a goddess
But you fade away as quickly as a half-remembered dream
I'd like to trade for this reality we're forced to live in every day
But anyway

You're the sun lighting up my sky
You're my June afternoon and I
I love you, I really don't know why
But I do, you're the tears I cry

Oh
Oh, I didn't get a chance to ask you
If you'd like to lie beside me, one more time
On my bed or on yours, it doesn't matter
We'd put on some Dylan
Close our eyes, and drift off to a beach
Somewhere in California
Where the sunlight burns away your worries
And your restlessness and trepidation
Darkness has no business being near you
You're an angel sent from somewhere high above me
And I hope one day you'll love me like you did when we were
Sitting in the courtyard and you laughed at how you were
Supposed to be at some dumb party
But you realized all you wanted sat beside you
And you took my hand and told me that you'd never been so happy
And we shared a smile and walked inside, mmm

You're the sun lighting up my sky
You're my June afternoon and I
I love you, I really don't know why
But I do, you're the tears I cry

Oh
Oh
Oh, I shouldn't love you like I do
You left without a word of warning
I woke up alone that morning
Terrified, it's right out of a nightmare or a movie
But at least in most good screenplays
There's a reason you just changed your mind and cut me out completely
Now, you treat me like a stranger who's not worth your time
And maybe I am not
But, still, you haunt my dreams and all my waking hours
I can't escape your voice
And all the words you said live in my mind and in my heart
You sounded so sincere, and I believed you like a child
But I was blind
My vision is still blurry
Please just hurry and come home

You're the sun lighting up my sky
You're my June afternoon, July
Harvest moon
December makes me cry, November too
October I was high
When I'm with you, I feel like I can fly
You wake me up, you make me feel alive
You put the colors of the rainbow in my life
You left me here, you make me want to die
And I love you, I really don't know why
But I do, you're the tears I cry
This afternoon (Oh, what I would give to go back in time)
You're the tears I cry
This afternoon (Oh, what I would give to go back in time)
You're the tears I cry

Oh, what I would give to go back in time
Oh, what I would give to go back in time
Oh, what I would give to go back in time
Oh, what I would give to go back in time
Oh, what I would give to go back in time
Oh, what I would give to go back in time
Oh, what I would give to go back in time
Oh, what I would give to go back in time
