Eclipse Lyrics

Verse 1
You were my best friend
I met you in 7th grade
games we played walked throught the city fairly late
Yo momma need you home before it got dark
I was still out playin, you was home at 6 O'clock
on the dot before the street light pop
I walked to the park on the other block
where I hit my first spark
Got trees in my hand at the age of 11
thinkin 4 years ago I was only 7 years old
I gotta get home, tomorrow got school, why am I alone?
I know I aint a fool man, I'm gettin cool grades
Thanks for helping me, I wanna be like you and get a few A's
You brought me to a place I aint never been before
some after school youth group where they praised the lord
This aint my thang, but I just wanted to hang with you
across your heart slept a jesus chain

I read you words of my diary page,
you listened close, I know you felt my pain
you said Jen never forget, that theres goin to be sun after the rain
and I did..
CHORUS X2
I look in yo eyes I see an eclipse,
I feel the cold shift slow dance on yo lips
I hear the birds cry when the day is night
so I ask the lord to bring back my sunshine
Verse 2
Math class pass by I aint into it
I cant call you cuz I'm a bad influence
in highschool, I was well known
if you didnt see me on the yard
I was probably at home
I told you all my secrets, all my experiments, and about the first girl I kissed
You never judged me or left my side
we even stuck together when our good friend died
he was only 18 a little older than us
They found him O.D. on the back of the bus
We thought it was a sign for us not to do drugs
I'll never leave yo side, followed by a hug
A few times we went out to the club
so under age , so always lookin for love
We was tight as a glove, yo words sweet as a dove
you said, jen girl why you gotta drink so much?
still I stepped in the mud
next mornin got class
but as time passed, our phone calls came last
CHORUS X2
I look in yo eyes I see an eclipse,
I feel the cold shift slow dance on yo lips
I hear the birds cry when the day is night
so I ask the lord to bring back my sunshine
Verse 3
You made a few friends that came in the path
I made a few friends that didnt even last
we call each other up once in a while
but I wondered why you were up all night
From excited now you were so dam tired
for the first time in months I began to cry
I said, remember our friend and how he died?
Now it's my turn to say look at the sunshine
I knew you were blessed thats when I moved to BX
didnt hear from each other, not a page or a text
for a while somethings wrong I could feel it in my chest
I came home, but you aint the same friend when I left
My heart dropped to the floor, when you walked in the door
couldnt see my own friend around the cheek bones
beauty is in you, now your body so frail
you said, to keep in touch I aint doin so well
I thought about our friend & how he died
then I got a phone call you didnt make it last night
my friend, my beautiful rose its yo time
I'll see you in the morning looking at the sunshine
You headed to a place where theres no more pain
I said, never forget the sun after the rain
I said never forget the sun after the rain
