Taking a lot of giving

And making life worth living

At a slow pace

I've made it a long race

Well I can't really say

Things are going my way

But the love is so pleasing

Ah, the love is the reason

That I've waited so long for

My sunshine, shine, shine, shine

Well I've waited so long

Trying to put it in song

Whether rise or fall

Livin' ain't quite so bad after all

Living and dying

Without even trying

Well with some you might

Find a satisfied mind

Well there's right ways

And wrong ways

And lots of the long days

That makes life worth living

When the best that you're giving

Tries to open your eyes so your

Sun can shine, shine, shine, shine

Well I've waited so long

Trying to put it in song

Whether rise or fall

Livin' ain't so bad

As I wandered through the darkness

I knew, though I wondered

What I was gonna do

When the sun started shining

Then there'd be no denying

That I'd have such a love

Of a new day

Giving some and taking some too

Now my sun shines high

On every bluesy day

And I know what I was going through

Well the love is so pleasing

All the love is the reason

That I've waited so long for my

Sun to shine, shine, shine, shine

Well I've waited so long

Trying to put it in song

Whether rise or fall

Livin' ain't quite so bad after all
