Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time I see the sun
It's like my life has just begun
Like my life has just begun
[Verse 2]
Every time I hear your voice
It leaves me with no other choice
Leaves me with no other choice
And if you leave me for the moon
Another day is coming soon
Another day is coming soon
[PreChorus]
When the wind comes sailing through
And the sky comes down so blue
Will your will to love me still remain?
[Chorus]
Every time I see the sun
It's like my life has just begun
Like my life has just begun
Every time I hear your voice
You leave me with no other choice
It leaves me with no other choice
[Verse 3]
Couldn't help but wonder why you threw yourself away
Come on out from under and just take it day by day
[Refrain]
It's true
I believe in you
[Verse 4]
I took a walk to wander, and I wondered on a thought
It's kinda hard to get through all the things we ain't been taught
[Refrain]
It's true
But I believe in you
Ooh
I believe in you
[Chorus]
After all the tears and dedication
Sure, I could cut you a little slack
Long as you live, I'm sorry to tell you
You'll never get that monkey off your back
[Verse 5]
I never even listened when you said you couldn't breathe
How the water glistens when you're sinking underneath
[Refrain]
It's true
But I'm sinking too
[Verse 6]
I could be the anchor when you're drifting out to sea
And I'd take your hand if you'd just hold it out for me
[Refrain]
It's true
I'm reachin' out for you
Ooh
And I believe in you
[Outro]
After all the years of medication
Feels good to get your life on track
Long as you live, I'm sorry to tell you
You'll never get that monkey off your back
You'll never get that monkey off your back
