I've spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sunshine   Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round   I squandered emotions on the slightest of notions   And the first easy loving I found      But soon all the good times, the gay times and 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      Well there's times when I trembled when my mind remembered   The days that just crumbled away   With nothing to show but these lines that I know   Are beginning to show in 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
