Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Hey, I wanna tell you before we get out of here tonightHow much we appreciate the good feeling you’ve been throwing back at usBecause it’s a-, we’re in it for the love and not the money, darlingBut if it wasn’t for y’all’s money we couldn’t do it, so God bless you for thatI have seen the mornin’ burnin’ golden on the mountain in the skiesAchin’ with the feelin’ of the freedom of an eagle when she fliesTurnin’ on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dyin’Healin’ as the colors in the sunlight and the shadows of her eyesWakin’ in the mornin’ to the feelin’ of her fingers on my skinWipin’ out the traces of the people and the places that I’ve beenTeachin’ me that yesterday was somethin’ that I’d never thought of tryin’Talkin’ of tomorrow and the money love and time we had to spendLovin’ her was easier than anything I’ll ever do againComin’ close together with a feelin’ that I’ve never known before in my timeShe ain’t ashamed to be a human or afraid to be a friendI don’t know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mindBut dreamin’ was as easy as believin’, it was never gonna endAnd lovin’ her was easier than anything I’ll ever do again
