Fun assignment. I highly recommend it!
This is the title I drew....
normal">I Will Rise But I Won’t Shine
She was my whole world
Sun rose and set on her
Broke this heart of mine
No more good mornings
When the sun comes up I cry
I can’t wipe these tears out of my eyes
Every new day only brings the same old pain
Ain’t no blue skies only rain
I thought that she would always be
Right here with me
By my side forever more
Nothin’ is the same
The only thing I hold at night
Is her picture in a frame
(and that’s why) I will rise but I won’t shine
I can’t wipe these tears out of my eyes
Every new day only brings the same old pain
Ain’t no blue skies only rain
She left me here alone
By myself all alone
I look into that mirror and the only thing I see
Is an empty space beside me where she used to be
I pray the lord my soul will keep
‘Til that morning when I see
Blue skies up above
A rainbow and just like before the girl I dream of
I can’t wipe these tears out of my eyes
Every new day only brings the same old pain
Ain’t no blue skies all I got is rain
(so) I will rise but I won’t shine
I will rise but I
I won’t shine
I won’t shine
I will rise but I won’t shine
