                                                   "Brighter Than The Sun"

Stop me on the corner

I swear you hit me like a vision

I, I, I wasn't expecting

But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go with it

Don't you blink, you might miss it

See we got a right to just love it or leave it

You find it and keep it

'Cause it ain't every day you get the chance to say

Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, it could be the stars falling from the sky

Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

Everything is like a white out 'cause we shook-a-shook-a shine down

Even when the, when the light's out but I can see you glow

Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after

Never felt this way before, ain't felt this way before

Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

Oh, this is how it starts, lighting strikes the heart

It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
