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 so bad after all!
