Daylight Lyrics by Vance Joy

In Our Own Sweet Time

2022

[Verse 1]
We were walking arm in arm through Barcelona
There were people singing opera in the streets
And I kissed you by the fountain in the square
A part of my heart will always be there

[Chorus]
Just wanted you to know
The times I feel helpless
Nothing but dark skies
On the nights that seem endless
You are like daylight, babe

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh) You are like daylight, babe
(Ooh-ooh) You are my daylight

[Verse 2]
We were watching as the waves came rolling in
You said you were happy here
You were wondering if we'd met when were kids
Did I think that we would've been friends?

[Chorus]
Well, of course I do
The times I feel helpless
Nothing but dark skies
On the nights that seem endless
You are like daylight, babe

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh) You are like daylight, babe
(Ooh-ooh) You are my daylight

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
Just wanted you to know
The times I feel helpless
Nothing but dark skies
On the nights that seem endless
You are like daylight
You're the one that can reach me
When you look into my eyes
No matter how lost I might be
You are like daylight, babe

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh) You are like daylight, babe
(Ooh-ooh) You are my daylight
