James Taylor - Taking It In Lyrics

Artist: James Taylor

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: James Taylor

Morning, sing me a song
Afternoon, bring it along
Nighttime, show me a friend, say it again
Send a good dream my way

Wednesday, feeling just fine
I got to say time on my hands
Friday, look at them run, show me some fun
Taking the sunshine in

God knows you've got to give yourself
Time to think these days
Lord knows you've got to take enough
Time to look both ways
The pieces fly by so quickly now

Laura, look at you walk
I swear you've got eyes in my head
I'd like to follow you down, show you around
Borrow the crown you wear

Bacon, lie on the plate
Two black-eyed peas wait on the side
Gravy chicken and rice, isn't it nice
Tell me the price of the food

What happens when the answers they give you
Aren't good enough, baby no
What happens when it rains for eight days
On your week off
You know you can't buy tomorrow, no

It's all a matter of opening up your eyes
And looking around 'cause it's all there
Yeah baby said, it's all there
I said taking the sunshine in
Yeah yeah yeah, whoa babe whoa
