Late afternoon still hanging gold,
Warm enough to hold me close.
Everything the day became,
Still alive inside my frame.
There’s a softness in the glow,
Like it doesn’t wanna go.
And I kinda wanna stay,
Inside everything it gave.
No, I’m not done with this light,
Not just yet, not tonight.
Let me stay in the sun,
Just a little longer.
Let me keep this feeling warm,
A little stronger.
Let me stay in the sun,
Till the whole sky turns.
And I’ll carry what it gave,
Into tomorrow.
Every hour left a trace,
In the light across my face.
In the rhythm of the streets,
In the warmth that stayed with me.
Maybe not all good things fade,
Maybe some are meant to stay.
Not outside, but somewhere in,
Like a better kind of skin.
No, I’m not done with this light,
Not just yet, not tonight.
Let me stay in the sun,
Just a little longer.
Let me keep this feeling warm,
A little stronger.
Let me stay in the sun,
Till the whole sky turns.
And I’ll carry what it gave,
Into tomorrow.
Maybe all I need to do,
Is remember how this moved.
How the day could feel this wide,
How the light could live inside.
Let me stay in the sun,
Just a little longer.
Let me keep this feeling warm,
A little stronger.
Let me stay in the sun,
Till the whole sky turns.
And I’ll carry what it gave,
Into tomorrow.
Stay in the sun,
Stay in the sun.
Hold it close,
Hold it close.
