Thousand memories

by CeruleanStarGlow

This is actually a song that i wrote after i read "I Found A Reason" by "the-fraulein " It's inspired by the scene where roger is playing with his little sister and he says he'll write a song about it. No references to rent, but inspired by a rent fic

In the fic "I found a reason" by "the frauline" Roger sees his sister playing in a garden, and the world around her all appears to be dying, as winter approaches. He decides he is going to write a song about it. The first part of this song is based on that scene.

Disclaimer: I don't own RENT, but technically this is almost my song, inspired by a fic based off of rent...

Tiny little girl, she's playing in the leaves

Tiny ray of sunshine, brings a thousand memories

A tiny bit of joy within this world of looming death

Some beauty and some life, before the looming winter's breath

Tiny little girl, she's playing in the leaves

Tiny ray of sunshine, brings a thousand memories

Brings back the summer, when I wasn't growing cold

Now I'm standing in the winter's air

And watching the baby girl grow old

-

How sad to watch the years pass by

How sad to watch her slowly die

How could a child's joy, be molded into pain

How can I watch, yet not go insane

How can I watch, and not lend my hand

How can I see this and not take a stand

How can I see her go through so much strife

Yet never intervene until, at stake is her own life

-

Tiny little ray of sunshine, has grown up, quite a bit

The tiny little ray of sunshine, fought through each and every hit

Not so tiny ray of sunshine, isn't playing in the leaves

Never will the ray of moonlight be so strikingly naive

Not so tiny ray of moonlight, is shaded by the trees

Not so tiny ray of moonlight brings back all those memories

Of my tiny ray of sunshine, and of how she disappeared

And now I have a ray of moonlight,

And a basketful of wasted years

-

How sad to watch the years pass by

How sad to watch her slowly die

How could a child's joy be molded into pain

How is it, after everything, I am still sane

How sad to watch, the moonlight fade

How then at dawn, when the sky is gloomy gray

How do I watch, the moonlight leave my life

Replaced by emptiness, the ache left after strife

-

My shining ray of moonlight, has left me all alone

My shining ray of moonlight left me shaken to the bone

So now that ray of moonlight, is a clouded, gloomy dawn

I see her, and remember golden sunshine on the lawn

But after gloomy dawn, a tiny ray of sunshine is born

She's playing, sunny happy, though the world around her is torn

Tiny ray of sunshine, she is playing in the leaves

And that tiny ray of sunshine, brings a thousand memories
