Lyrics
What Makes the Sunset
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What makes the sunset?
What makes the moonrise?
What makes the tide remember to hide and why does it soon rise?
What makes a star fall?
Where does it fall to?
Why does its flight make us stop in the night and wish as we all do?
And what holds a cloud together?
What makes the sky so blue?
What makes the sunset?
What makes the moonrise?
Is it my love for you?
<instrumental>
And what holds a cloud together?
And what makes the sky so blue?
What makes the sunset?
What makes the moonrise?
Is it my love for you?
