The Sun Was In My Eye

When I was six years old I tried to wave goodbye
But I couldn't see my parents; the sun was in my eye.
When I was eight I got my first kite that I wanted to fly
But when I looked up I couldn't see it; the sun was in my eye

When I was thirteen I felt like it was my time to die
But the pills missed my mouth because the sun was in my eye
When I was fourteen I had my first job but I was shy
I dropped food all over the ground because the sun was in my eye

While I was sitting next to you I didn't see you were wearing a tie
You were trying to impress me but the sun was in my eye
In biology class you slid a note my way, you gave it a try
But it hit the floor before I notice because the sun was in my eye

On our first date I had started realizing I really liked this guy
But I didn't have a chance to see him because the sun was in my eye
When we walked home I tripped and fell, all you could do was sigh
I didn't even see the boulder in my way because the sun was in my eye

One day you asked me about my clumsiness, you just said “why”
I held back for a minute before I said the sun was always in my eye
He stood in front of the sun, he said he really liked me, he wasn't going to lie
And when he leaned in to kiss me, we didn't miss; the sun was no longer in my eye
