Sunlight
Dan Fogelberg · Other Songs - Dan Fogelberg
And felt her warm mouth on you in the summer's air?
Running in a field of brown, laughing, rolling on the ground, now
Smiling as she pulls you down
That's the way she feels about you
That's the way she feels about you
If your dreams should wake you shaking in the night
She can touch your face and take away all fright
Like a tree in a meadow wind, she will bend to take you in
Makes no difference where you've been
That's the way she feels about you
That's the way she feels about you
If you wake up screaming
Scared about what you're dreaming
You know she is there, she can share
You're aware she cares about you
In the morning wake up laughing with the day
She will smile and ask you with her eyes to stay
Like the sunshine warms the sand
She will touch you with her hand now
Touching makes you understand
That's the way she feels about you
That's the way she feels about you
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
If you wake up screaming
Scared about what you're dreaming
You know she is there, she can share
You're aware she cares about you
In the morning wake up laughing with the day
She will smile and ask you with her eyes to stay
Like the sunshine warms the sand
She will touch you with her hand, now
Touching makes you understand
Oh, that's the way she feels about you
That's the way she feels about you, yeah
That's the way she feels about you
That's the way she feels about you
