Danny's Song
Jake Hoot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

People smile and tell me I′m the lucky one
And we've 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 mornin′ when I rise
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
Buddy, 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 mornin′ when I rise
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be alright

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 mornin' when I rise
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

And tell me everything is gonna be alright
Yeah... is gonna be alright
