LYRICS: 
**************************************************************** 
 
I could see my life, short film passing my eyes 
I tried to look away from her, as always i just tried 
Sweetness in her eyes, hone thru one million miles 
How could I turn my back on her, the sweeteset thing alive 
 
I was eager, day time dreamer,  
Waiting time when I'd come alive 
 
Sun of San Sebastian eighteen years young today 
She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray 
It was good to know her well, because it made me see 
That the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me 
 
Look what I have done to my San Sebastian 
I wasted all my childhood dreams by staring at sun 
Back in time with a dream of mine 
I try to find my way back to life 
 
Burning fever, night time screamer,  
Waiting time when I'd come alive 
 
Sun of San Sebastian oh why I cannot stay 
She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray 
It was good to know her well, because it made me see 
That the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me 
 
Every single day, for the rest of my way 
I live without my love, my God, I have to stay in shade 
When I'm old and gray, I remember that day 
When she came, that perfect dame and she blew me away 
 
Was it good I got to know her well although it made me see 
That the sun of San Sebastian is way too hot for me? 
Now I live in shades and I am married to the moon 
And the sun of San Sebastian is warming someone new
