lyrics

It’s just past midday when the sun disappears
She was born on the shortest day of the year
Here in the Northern hemisphere
It’s an early night

As the light fades from view
Tomorrow starts anew
With just a minute or two

Most of her friends are away
It being so close to Xmas day
Plus no one expected that the rain
Would fall this hard

Tonight, soaked through
But tomorrow starts anew
With just a minute or two
More sunlight

The one that I hold most dear
Was born on the shortest day of the year
This one filled with its share of doubt and fear
To get through

But right on cue
The new year is in view
And we’re looking forward to
About a million things to do
And all the fun that will ensue
Under these LA skies of blue
Yeah, we’re gonna pull through
You know, tomorrow starts anew
With just a minute or two
More sunlight
