Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy  
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry  
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely  
Sunshine almost always makes me high

With all the windows smashed  
And I’ve got so little left to lose  
That it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass

I can’t do the talk like they talk on the TV  
And I can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be  
I can’t do everything but I’d do anything for you  
I can’t do anything except be in love with you

Take back all those things you said  
When you were tired of living  
Hold on to the dreams we shared  
They were so easy to believe in  
Turn back from the way you’re goin’  
It’s a rocky road for sure  
Lift up your heart to heaven  
Dream this dream with me once more

Do it for love  
Do it for love

Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give  
Please remember that I want us to live  
But it’s sad to see  
Our chances weakening with every hour  
All your followers are blind  
Too much heaven on their minds  
It was beautiful, but now it’s sour  
Yes it’s all gone sour

Fill your mind with love  
Find the world of future glory  
You can meet yourself  
Where the sour turns to sweet
