SUNLIGHT ON MY FACE
Lyrics by Tanja
Verse 1
I see the lines around my eyes,
They weren’t there yesterday.
Silver running through my hair,
And I don’t want it washed away.
I’ve spent too many years
Trying to turn the clock around,
Chasing some forgotten girl
Who never really stuck around?
Pre-Chorus
So let the mirror tell the truth,
I don’t have time to lie.
I’m not gonna waste another day
Wondering why.
Chorus
Let the sunlight hit my face,
Let it find every line.
I’m getting older, getting wiser,
And for once I’m feeling fine.
I don’t need to be perfect,
I don’t need to turn back time.
If this is what tomorrow brings,
Then tonight I’m gonna live mine.
Verse 2
I’ve got scars I never planned,
A few mistakes I can’t erase.
Some dreams got lost along the way,
Some left without a trace.
But every broken piece of me
Has carried me this far.
I wouldn’t trade the road I took
For who I thought I was.
Pre-Chorus
So let the seasons change my skin,
Let winter have its say.
There’s still a fire burning here,
And I’m not walking away.
Chorus
Let the sunlight hit my face,
Let it find every line.
I’m getting older, getting wiser,
And for once I’m feeling fine.
I don’t need to be perfect,
I don’t need to turn back time.
If this is what tomorrow brings,
Then tonight I’m gonna live mine.

Bridge
These silver strands are proof
That I stayed through every storm.
Every wrinkle tells a story.
Every scar says I was born
To live.
Final Chorus
Let the sunlight hit my face,
Let it burn a little bright.
Let the autumn colours show me
There is beauty in goodbye.
I don’t need to be perfect,
I don’t need to hide the years.
I’ve got so much life inside me,
I’m not giving it to fear.
