If you should ever leave me  
Though life would still go on believe me  
The world could show nothing to me  
So what good would living do me  
God only knows what I’d be without you

If ever I would leave you, how could it be in spring-time?  
Knowing how in spring I’m bewitched by you so?  
Oh, no! Not in spring-time! Summer, winter or fall!  
No, never could I leave you at all!

Where is she?  
Who I close my eyes to see?  
Will I ever know the sweet hello  
That’s meant for only me?

With her all-American face and form

We’ve searched high and low for Miss Water Buffalo to wear the beauty crown  
With charm and grace and pretty face. The pride of Bedrock town.

So let the sun shine in, face it with a grin  
Smilers never lose and frowners never win  
So let the sun shine in, face it with a grin  
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in. (Let the sun shine in!)

Walking with the man called Sun, I think my journey’s just begun  
Do you think he’ll mind?

He lifts you up he shines, and then he’s gone  
But you know you need him more when he’s gone

Good morning, Mister Sunshine, you brighten up my day  
Come sit beside me in your way  
I see you every morning outside the restaurants  
The music plays so nonchalant

Some man’s gone, he’s tried to run my life  
Don’t know what he’s asking

I’ve looked everywhere, but you’re the one

You, you fascinate me  
I whispered your name, and you were gone

And long after you’re gone, gone, gone.  
I’ll love you long after you’re gone, gone, gone.

Mystic rhythms  
Capture my thoughts, carry them away  
Nature seems to spin a supernatural way  
Mystic rhythms  
Under city lights or a canopy of stars  
We feel the push and pull of restless rhythms from afar

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,  
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,  
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.  
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

Walking down the street  
We get the funniest looks  
From everyone we meet  
Hay hay we’re the Monkees
