Well I spend my whole lifetime
in a world where the sunshine
finds excuses
for not hangin' 'round
I squandered emotions
on the slightest of notions
and the first easy lovin'
I found
But soon all the good times
and 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 blowin' away
<Interlude>
There's times when I've trembled
My mind's remembered
the days that just crumbled away
with nothin' to show
but these lines that I know
are beginning to show in my face
Oh, Lord if you're listenin'
you know I'm no Christian
and I ain't
got much comin' to me
So, send out some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowin' away
Oh, Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowin' away
