‘April Sun’ was written for Nilsson’s ”nephew, born on a cherry blossom day”, and it’s an achingly pretty song. It’s stripped-back and delicate, with Nilsson’s voice left bare on a minimalistic musical backdrop, and it swells into a beautiful chorus. That spring moment when the breeze flows through...
[Verse 1]
Little hun
You shine a light on me like April sun
You are the spring that puts my mind at ease
See the blue [?]
I live for you, for you
Winter came
I thought I’ll never ever love again
But you thought me how to smile
How to feel alive
I remember I
I was at the end
Now I’m at the start
Imma be strong for you
[Chorus]
And I can’t wait to teach you how to dance
Show you all the good things honey
You can hold my hand
Baby you will always have me
And the day you came will always be
Sweet like blossoms on the cherry tree
I wanna see you dance
Underneath the blushy sky
[Verse 2]
Little
You look so much like somebody that I love
See you flying with the spring time breeze
I’ve been waiting for your sweet homecoming
[Chorus]
Gonna teach you how to dance
Show you all the good things honey
Let me hold your hand
Baby you will always have me
And the day you came will always be
Sweet like blossoms on the cherry tree
I wanna see you dance
Underneath the blushy sky
