Ain't So Bad

(album: Lady In Waiting - 1976)

Taking a lot of giving and making life worth living,
at a slow pace, love made it a long race,
well, I can't really say things are going my way,
but the love is so pleasing,
ah, the love is the reason
that I've waited so long for my sun to shine,
shine, shine, shine,
well, I've waited so long trying to put it in song,
whether rise or fall, living ain't quite so bad after all.

Living and dying without even trying,
well, with some, you might find a satisfied mind,
well, there's right ways and wrong ways,
and lots of them long days
that makes life worth living
when the best that you're giving
tries to open your eyes so your sun can shine,
shine, shine, shine,
well, I've waited so long trying to put it in song,
whether rise or fall, living ain't so bad...

as I wandered through the darkness, I knew,
though I wondered what I was gonna do
when the Sun started shining,
then there'd be no denying
that I'd have such a love of a new day,
giving some, and taking some, too,
now my sun shines high on every bluesy day,
and I know what I was going through.

Well, the love is so pleasing,
all the love is the reason
that I've waited so long for my sun to shine,
shine, shine, shine,
and that's right,
and well, I've waited so long trying to put it in song,
whether rise or fall, living ain't so bad after all.
