Leave it in the hands of fate, if you can
Leave it in the hands of God
Doesn't make a difference anyway, silly man
I'm just telling it how it is
There is really nothing more than this
She could turn the night into day with her smile
She could chase the shadows away
She could make you calm and at ease for a while
She was showing you how to live
There was really nothing more for her to give
She said to listen to the sunshine
Listen to the sunshine sing
I tried to listen to the sunshine
But I couldn't hear a thing
Tell her that you ain't misbehaved, if you must
Tell her that you fully understand
Tell her that you'll do anything to win her trust
And telle her you're dead inside
And you want her to sleep by your side
Tell her listen to the sunshine
Listen to the sunshine sing
I tried to listen to the sunshine
But I couldn't hear a thing
She said: you could be the sunshine
You could be the sunshine king
But I can't be the sunshine
I can't be anything
I can be the moonstruck cretin
I can be the monster's claw
I can be the disappointment
I could be God's only flaw
But I can't be the sunshine
She said: we could be the sunshine
I would be the sunshine king
She would be the sunshine queen
We could shine on everything
