Now if all my golden moments could be rolled into one
They would shine just like the sun for a summer day
And after it was over, we could have it back again
With credit to the editor for striking out the rain very clean

And all it really needed was the proper point of view
No one's gonna bring me down
No one's gonna stop me now

Now I gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold
And I gathered up the gold and I threw it all away
It all went for a good time and a song, come on
The laughter was like music, it did float my soul along for a while

And all it really needed was the proper point of view
No one's gonna reach me here
No one's gonna know I'm gone

You may think I might be crazy and I guess you must be right
But I know the way I feel today is out of sight
I do not trust my senses to remember your name
Without corrective lenses, things are never twice the same anyway

And all it really needed was the proper point of view
No one's gonna bring me down
And no one's gonna stop me now, no one
No one's gonna reach me here
No one's gonna know I'm gone
