People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one And we've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son He will be like you and me, as free as a dove Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above And even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with ya honey Everything bring a chain of love And in the morning when I rise Bring a tear of joy to my eyes And tell me every thing's gonna be all right Love a guy who holds the world in a paper cup Drink it up, love him and he'll bring you luck And if ya find he helps your mind, better take him home Yeah 'n 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 ya honey Everything bring a chain of love And in the morning when I rise Bring a tear of joy to my eyes And tell me every thing's gonna be all right And even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with ya honey Everything bring a chain of love And in the morning when I rise Bring a tear of joy to my eyes And tell me every thing's gonna be all right
