Well, I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses
For not hanging around
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first
Easy loving I found
But 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
There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that
Just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning
To show in my face
Oh Lord, if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got
Much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me
From blowing away
Oh Lord, if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me
From blowing away
