I spent my whole lifetime In a world where the sunshine Found excuses for not hanging around I squandered emotions At the slightest of notions And the first easy loving I found But soon all the good times The gay times, the 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 that I've trembled when my mind remembers All the days that just melted away With nothing to show These lines that I know Are beginning to show on my face Oh Lord, if you're listening, you 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
