Sunshine On Catford

You, you, you, you, you

And further more, you

And another thing, you

I can’t believe the sound of my laughter when you’re in front of me

I can’t believe the peace I feel in your company

When did it happen?

Happiness

I thought I knew love but I never knew this

You never break my spirits down

Never make me feel ashamed

You always praise my efforts

Raise my energy

Make an effort to know my friends

I was so lonely for you before we met

But sitting on the bus with the rain on the windows

And your head on my shoulder

You, you, you, you, you

And furthermore me

And another thing, us

You teach me so much

Every day that I wake to the smile on your face

and the feel of your touch

I never knew

How little I knew until I met you

I never knew

How perfect things were, until I was perfect for you

I never knew

How little I knew until I met you

I never knew

How perfect I was, until I was perfect for you

It used to be

I wore my sadness like a heavy coat

Soaked through

It kept me apart from the world

And it was always too tight at my throat

Loneliness

It rained and rained

Until I felt your reaching hand

That’s when the sun came out and it shone on us

Like the whole thing had been planned

It's not all roses no, we got more thorns than most for sure

But you’ve given me things I never knew I never had before

Thank you, I say to the starlings in the supermarket carpark

Thank you, I say to your empty glass when I hand it back to the bar staff

I never knew it

But I never knew I didn’t know it

And now I know it, there’s no way back

So let's you, you, you and I

Do this till we die

And love each other till we collapse

I never knew

How little I knew until I met you

I never knew

How perfect things were, until I was perfect for you

I never knew

How little I knew until I met you

I never knew

How perfect I was, until I was perfect for you

You, you, you, you
