Takin' a lot of givin' and makin' life worth livin'
At a slow pace, love made it a long race
Well, I can't really say things are going my way
But the love is so pleasin'
Ah, 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 tryin' to put it in song
Whether rise or fall, livin' ain't quite so bad after all

Livin' and dyin' without even tryin'
Well, with some, you might find a satisfied mind
Well, there's right ways and wrong ways
And lots of them long days
That makes life worth livin'
When the best that you're givin'
Tries to open your eyes so your sun can shine
Shine, shine, shine
Well, I've waited so long tryin' 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 shinin'
Then there'd be no denyin'
That I'd have such a love of a new day
Givin' some, and takin' some, too
Now my sun shines high on every bluesy day
And I know what I was going through

Well, the love is so pleasin'
All the love is the reason
That I've waited so long for my sun to shine
Shine, shine, shine
And that's right
And well, I've waited so long tryin' to put it in song
Whether rise or fall, livin' ain't so bad after all
