Mike Love
Sweet Sound
I’m laying down all my burdens
I’m burying my pain in the ground
I’m surrendering all to the sweet, sweet sound
I’m forgetting my pain and my sorrows
And wearing my heart out on my sleeve
All I need is this Love in my heart to believe

That heaven is not in the skies waiting
And if I spend my time hating, I’ll be living in hell
So I been praying, I’ve been praying for something
To show my heart the one thing that by now I should know well
‘Cause all these songs I’ve been given
They’ve shown me that living is not so hard after all
They fill me up with light, tell me I’m wrong when I think I’m right
And pick me up every time I fall

[Chorus]
So all my days I will sing, give praise
It’s what I was put here for
I’ve made my choice, I’ve got my voice
And I don’t need nothing more

‘Cause patience is a virtue I’ve been hearing
But if I wait for the smoke to be clearing I might waste my days away
Because tomorrow is just yesterday a little bit later
And I know it’ll be greater if I live for today
I been running, I’ve been running and hiding
Hiding from the truth
But as I lay me down, I hear the sweet, sweet sound
And I don’t need no more proof
‘Cause I don’t know what this world has got in store
But if it’s an open door, I’m gonna walk through
And I don’t know why we keep the best inside
But if I find out, I’ll come and find you

[Chorus]
So all my days I will sing, give praise
It’s what I was put here for
I’ve made my choice, I’ve got my voice
And I don’t need nothing more

I’m ready Lord, I’m not waiting no more
No negative, positive for sure
Oh Lord I said my troubles are washed away
I’m ready Lord, I’m not waiting no more
No negative, positive for sure
Tell everyone the good Love is here to stay
Oh Lord I said my troubles are washed away
