From the recording It's Only the Old Sun
A laid-back ode to our old friend the Sun. It’s good sometimes to appreciate the things we often take for granted.
Lyrics
It’s Only The Old Sun
It’s only the old sun, but it lifts my mood
It’s only the old sun, but it grows my food
It sits there like a friend, the kind that we cherish
It’s there till the end, or we all would perish
It’s so strong I can’t look that way
Been there so long, you have to think it’s going to stay
Forever. This old sun is here forever
It’s only the old sun, it doesn’t have a dark side
It’s only the old sun, it illuminates our life’s ride
Now, the moon is romantic, it shines down on lovers
The sun is all business, taking care of all the others
It’s so strong I can’t look that way
Been there so long, you think it’s going to stay
Forever. This old sun is here forever
I’d like to look it in the eye and say
Thanks for brightening up my day, old sun
