I’ve spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sunshine made excuses for not hanging ’round I’ve squandered emotions on the slightest of notions and the first easy loving I’ve found Soon all the good times the gay times and play times like colors run together and fade    Oh Lord if you hear me touch me and hold me   and keep me from blowing away          {Instrumental break then modulate to There’ve been times that I’ve trembled and my mind’s remembered the days that just crumbled away    With nothing to show but these lines that I know are beginning to show in my face So Lord if you’re listenin’ you know I’m no christian and I ain’t got much coming to me    But won’t you send down some sunshine throw out a lifeline And keep me from blowing away Lord if you hear me touch me and hold me and keep me from blowing away
