When I woke this mornin', something inside of me told me this would be my day
|
I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change, too many times I'm on my way
|
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
|
Where can you take me to make me understand
|
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
|
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
|
|
And then I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky like a candycane delight
|
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the only road in sight
|
Then I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go, to know the wherefore and the why
|
|
So many times now, oh lord I can't remember if it's september or july
|
|
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore, and you can see it if you try
|
It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love, you'll never know the reason why
|
|
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
|
Where can you take me to make me understand
|
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
|
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
|
So much to lose, so much to gain
|
