(Nice, oh so nice)
(Look twice, so nice)
[Verse 1]
You, yes, you
A breakthrough
Like the first light
In the twilight
[Chorus]
Crepuscular rays
Adding light to my days
Crepuscular rays
Bringing light in so many ways
[Instrumental, Flute Solo, Piano, Bass]
[Verse 2]
You, yes, you
Bring the light
Making day out of night
Love what you do
(I do)
[Chorus]
Crepuscular rays
Adding light to my days
Crepuscular rays
Bringing light in so many ways
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Bass]
[Bridge]
Scattering of sunlight (Alright!)
Particles in the atmosphere (Steer)
Sunlight streams beam
Scenes of sunbeams
Fulfill dreams
[Chorus]
Crepuscular rays
Adding light to my days
Crepuscular rays
Bringing light in so many ways
[Outro]
Sunlight streams beam
Scenes of sunbeams
Fulfill dreams
A SCIENCE NOTE
The first rays of light that break through the clouds are often referred to as “crepuscular rays.” These rays appear to radiate from a single point in the sky and are typically seen during sunrise or sunset when the sun is low on the horizon. The term “crepuscular” comes from the Latin word “crepusculum,” meaning “twilight.”
Crepuscular rays are caused by the scattering of sunlight by particles in the atmosphere, and they are accentuated when there are breaks in the clouds, allowing the sunlight to stream through in visible beams. These rays can create a dramatic visual effect and are sometimes poetically referred to as “sunbeams” or “God rays.”
In addition to crepuscular rays, when these beams of light appear on the opposite horizon, typically just after sunset or just before sunrise, they are called “anticrepuscular rays.” These rays are less commonly seen but can be equally striking.
