When I woke this mornin', Something inside of me told me This would be my day I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change, Too many times I'm on my wayCome on sunshine, what can you show meWhere can you take me to make me understandThe wind can shake me, brothers forsake meThe rain can touch me, but can I touch the rainAnd then I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky like a candycane delightI saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the only road in sightThen I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go, to know the wherefore and the whySo many times now, oh Lord I can't remember if it's September or JulyThen all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore, and you can see it if you tryIt's in the sun above, it's in the one you love, you'll never know the reason whyCome on sunshine, what can you show meWhere can you take me to make me understandThe wind can shake me, brothers forsake meThe rain can touch me, but can I touch the rainSo much to lose, so much to gain
Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot
