Sunrise painted peaches on the dusty old highway
Radio cracklin', singin' a forgotten Conway tune
Headed out to nowhere, just you and me this mornin'
Didn't have a plan, just knew I wanted you by the moon

Then the news came sputterin' through the static in the air
Said the world would go dark, a celestial affair
A solar eclipse, they called it, a shadow stealin' the light
But honey, in your eyes, my whole world was still bright

Pulled over on the shoulder, spread out an old blanket thin
Watched the diamonds scattered 'cross the velvet midnight blue
You fit in my arms like a puzzle piece long missin'
And the whole world faded, just me and you
Then the moon took a bite, the sun dipped low and shy

The sky turned a canvas painted with twilight's sigh
A solar eclipse, they called it,
A shadow eclipse, they called it, a shadow stealin' the light

But honey, in your kiss, the darkness felt just right
Some folks might've been scared, some might've cried in fright
But in that borrowed darkness, our love burned ever so bright
Like a firefly's flicker in the heart of a summer night

A solar eclipse, honey, but our future's burning white
The sun peeked back through, the moon danced on its way
The world came back to focus, a brand new kind of day
A solar eclipse, they called it, but our future's burning white


A solar eclipse, they called it, a shadow stealin' the light
But honey, with you by my side, everything feels just right
Everything feels just right with you by my side,
