Lyrics
I got the sun up above and the deep blue sky
I got the moon and the stars at night.
I got love in my life and enough to get by
Yeah, everything's alright
I got a place to lay my head and enough to eat
I got a song to sing
I must have angels up above I may never meet
Watching over me.
Sometimes I feel like complaining
I get to thinkin' only 'bout myself
Then I realize more won't make me as happy as
Bein' there for someone else
I got the sun up above and the deep blue sky
I got the moon and the stars at night.
I got love in my life and enough to get by
Yeah, everything's alright
I got a place to lay my head and enough to eat
I got a song to sing
I must have angels up above I may never meet
Watching over me
I got a friend who wants to know what's in it for him
What has anyone done for him lately?
I told him you got it backwards its not about you
Just look at all the things you could do
You got the sun up above and the deep blue sky
You got the moon and the stars at night.
You got love in your life and enough to get by
Yeah, everything's alright.
You got a place to lay your head and enough to eat
You got a song to sing
You must have angels up above you may never me
Watching over you
We can help a little here and help a little there
We can smile more and show that we care
We can ease someone's burden in little ways
We don't have to do it all to make someone's day
We got the sun up above and the deep blue sky
We got the moon and the stars at night.
We got love in our lives and enough to get by
Yeah, everything's alright.
We got a place to lay our heads and enough to eat
We got a song to sing
We must have angels up above we may never meet
Watching over us
We must have angels up above we may never meet
Watching over us
