Precious little wonder of my world, innocent young girl,
Your eyes are wider than mine.
I remember when I saw the world like you.
I’d dream of blue skies that were free from doubt.
Janaina, I do not mean to turn your sunshine into rain.
Spread your love around unconditionally.
You do not fool me.
I see you still see the light.
It’s just that one day you will be older then, weathered, hurt and land on your own.
They’ll say you’ve loved, learned and grown.
Janaina, I do not mean to turn your sunshine into rain.
So smile and cry and laugh your smile into me.
I could use some sympathy these days, the older I get. Take all of my aging cynicism and wisdom and turn my eyes to hopeful again.
Janaina, Janaina, Janaina, Take all I’ve seen and turn my sunlight on again.
