Now if all my golden moments   Could be rolled into one   They would shine just like the sun   For a summer day   And after it was over   We could have it back again   With credit to the editor   For striking out the rain (very clean)   And all it really needed   Was the proper point of view      No one's gonna bring me down   No one's gonna stop me now      Now I gathered up my sorrows   And I sold them all for gold   And I gathered up the gold   And I threw it all away   It all went for a good time and a song (come on)   The laughter was like music   It did float my soul along for awhile   And all it really needed was the proper point of view      No one's gonna reach me here   No one's gonna know I'm gone      You may think I might be crazy   And I guess you might be right   But I know the way I feel today is out of sight   I do not trust your senses to remember your name   Without corrective lenses   Things are never twice the same anyway   And all it really needed   Was the proper point of view      No one's gonna bring me down   No one's gonna stop me now   No one's gonna reach me here   No one's gonna know I'm gone
