Daylight and the Sun Lyrics

Now I cry for daylight
Daylight and the sun
Now I cry for daylight
Daylight everyone

Daylight in my heart
Daylight in the trees
Daylight kisses everything
She can see

There was no light
Only the white night
First born when the sun
Screamed her eyes wide open

Daylight in the fields
Daylight mountains
Fire kisses the floor
Of the lakes and makes shadows

Now I cry for daylight
Daylight and the sun
Now I cry for daylight
Daylight everyone

Daylight in my heart
Daylight in the trees
Daylight kisses everything
She can see

Daylight in my heart
Daylight in the trees
Daylight kisses everything
She can see

Ooh, your dream
Here on the water
Warm the sand
The seagulls calling

Kissed by kindness
Kissed by kindness
Kissed by kindness
Kissed by kindness

Ooh, your dream
Here on the water
Warm the sand
The seagulls calling

Kissed by kindness
Kissed by kindness
Kissed by kindness
Kissed by kindness

You gave me this
Your fire becomes a kiss
You gave me this
Your fire becomes a kiss

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
