about

Very folky love song which I wrote at least 10 years ago, and dedicated to my wife, Sheila. Captures the feelings that happen in a long term relationship, and the wonder of why you were so lucky to have that come along. I love the back and forth sound of the harmonica and flute, and have always been proud of the bridge that facillitates the key change from the verse to the chorus.

lyrics

Like The Sun
(by John Beccia)

What a love we have, I count the blessings everyday
All the years we've had, they disappear like yesterday
When I first looked at you, and you we're looking back at me
How could we have known what this relationship would be
So we rise to face another day
Awakening to what will come
What a love we have, shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun

What a love we have, one I'm working to deserve
A lover for this life, our children to love and observe
The flame inside my heart is burning with the love you give
Desire so complete, this is the way we're meant to live
So we rise to face another day
Awakening to what will come
What a love we have, shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun

Instrumental

So we rise to face another day
Awakening to what will come
What a love we have, shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun

(bass-drum break)

(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun
(Shinin' brightly like the su-----------------n)
shinin' brightly like the sun
