This is my cover of the song I Watch The Sun by Alexa San Roman. I have played this song live on various occasions and it means a lot to me. I tried my best to make the ukulele chords sound as good as the original and if you would like to watch that you can look it up on YouTube.

lyrics

i watch the sun sitting quiet in the backseat
she's like the sun always coming and then leaving
i feel like the moon sitting quiet in the darkness
she'll be here soon said nobody being honest

i watch the sun even though i'll never have her
i let her run even knowing what could happen
cause i am the moon and people at night need to see things too
but i'm far removed wondering if the sun needs the moon too

i watch the sun even though i'll never have her
the only one that ill ever be after
i watch the sun i wanna show her what she's missing
but all the stars shine much brighter when she's dimming

but don't cry moon
you'll get to catch a glimpse of her soon
a glimpse? that's it?
that's not enough to satisfy this
i watch the sun i try to reach and grab her
shes on the run and nobody can have her

so, said the moon
if anybody knows what i've been through
lift your head and cry with me too
and every dog howled at the moon

cause all they wanted was to give love
and what the got it was never enough (x2)
all i wanted was to give love
and what i got

i watch the sun even though she'll never notice
she's on the run i need to keep my focus
i've got a light on
its not as bright but
i try to shine on
i try to shine on
