In a way, the sun has shone on me
Makes it easy to make it hard
Take an inch, take a yard
Take it all
I don't need it at all

Any day, the sun could shine on you
Makes it silly to make it bad
Take it good, take it glad
Take it all

Don't you know there's a stronger thing keeping us together
Don't you know there's a song to sing
Sing on, let the feeling take you high

[organ solo (Pete Ham)]

Don't you know there's a stronger thing keeping us together
Don't you know there's a song to sing
Sing on, let the feeling take you high

Any day, the sun will shine on you
Makes it silly to take it bad
Make it good, take it glad
Take it all
I don't need it at all
I don't want it at all
No, no, no
Ooo-oooo.
