You’re the lucky one
We wrote it on your face
Tongues got loose when you turned around
And we all began using your name.

And on the day that you left town
They said the street light wasn’t the same
It went down.

You’re the lucky one 
even though you’ve changed
everyone knows that a single smile
is the closest we can get to escape.

You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes.

When the day is done
We’ll find another way
People will try to say their goodbyes
But it’s the darkest way to get through the day.

You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes.

We’ve had bad days
Waiting for the rain
Mostly it’ll pass us by
And leave us just the same again.

Like all the blue words
Humming in the air
Finding that the one we want 
Is buried in our simple minds.

You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes.
You’re the April child
You’re the sun in our eyes.
