Lyrics

People smile and tell me I’m the lucky one

And we’ve only just begun

Think I’m gonna have a son

He will be like she and me, as free as a dove

Conceived in love

Sun is gonna shine above

 

And even though we ain’t got money

I’m so in love with you, honey

And everything will bring a chain of love

And in the morning, when I rise

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

And tell me everything is gonna be alright

 

Seems as though, a month ago, I was Beta-Chi

Never got high

Oh, I was a sorry guy

And now, I smile and face the girl that shares my name

Now I’m through with the game

This boy will never be the same

 

And even though we ain’t got money

I’m so in love with you, honey

And everything will bring a chain of love

And in the morning, when I rise

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

And tell me everything is gonna be alright

 

Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign

Strong and kind

And the little boy is mine

Now I see a family where the once was none

Now we’ve just begun

Yeah, we’re gonna fly to the sun

 

And even though we ain’t got money

I’m so in love with you, honey

And everything will bring a chain of love

And in the morning, when I rise

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

And tell me everything is gonna be alright

 

Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup

Drink it up

Love her and she’ll bring you luck

And if you find she helps your mind, better take her home

Don’t you live alone

Try to earn what lovers own

 

And even though we ain’t got money

I’m so in love with you, honey

And everything will bring a chain of love

And in the morning, when I rise

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

And tell me everything is gonna be alright
