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
