about

Co-written with Stephen Butler. Steve sent me this track and I fell instantly in love. It felt so uplifting, full of possibility. Optimistic. Like the sunrise every morning.

lyrics

ONE MORE SUN (M. Kortes/S. Butler) Magda Lane Music (ASCAP)/ Clementunes (ASCAP)


I have learned to watch time pass
Dream by dream through the hourglass
Page by page the past will fold
And day by day I’m nearly whole

Everything’s gonna be alright
One more sun, one more night
Everything’s gonna be alright
One more sun, one more night

And day it’s all the same
We become eachother once again
Hear the promise, hand to heart
Any day now forever starts

Everything’s gonna be alright
One more sun, one more night
Everything’s gonna be alright
One more sun, one more night

Is all that I can keep waiting
The time has come for uncomplicating
And love is near, you know that’s the main thing

Oh I can see from where we stand
Step by step to a promise land
Page by page our story grows
And day by day the darkness goes

Everything’s gonna be alright
One more sun, one more night
Everything’s gonna be alright
One more sun, one more night

Is all that I can keep waiting
I can’t go on elaborating
And love is near, you know that’s the main thing


Everything’s gonna be alright
One more sun, one more night
Everything’s gonna be alright
One more sun, one more night

Give me one more sun
One more night
It’s gonna be alright
Alright, alright
