Lyrics
RISING SUN
Words & Music
Tom Griffith
You tell me all your secrets
I'm the center of your life
But I don't know how much longer
I will be your guiding light
So while I wait for you to fly
I will hold you for as long as I can
Kiss you every chance I get
Love you like the rising sun
But my love will never set
My love will never set
I love you beyond reason
Still I know there'll come a day
When I go from standing by your side
To standing in your way
I won't try to make you stay
(chorus)
You've become my world
And my joy runs so deep
Your love is a gift
One I cannot keep
(chorus)
