Everything's working out fine. You've got all the things you want and I've got mine. No more struggle and strife. Kickin' back and diggin'...It's a wonderful life. And then you awoke. To start the day out laughing. It's some kind of a joke. Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun. Everybody's working hard to have some fun. First you want a million then a million and one. Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun. City girls and small town boys. Big time spenders with expensive toys. Pretty people who don't look so good. Some are mopping floors and some are chopping wood. But they try and they try. Waiting for a clouds to disappear from the sky. CHORUS:. Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun. Everybody's working hard to have some fun. First you want a million then a million and one. Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun. Everybody's doing everything they can. Some will count on luck and some will make a plan. If you want to get it got to get it done. Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun. Mama said 'Listen to me. I can't tell you what your life's gonna be. Every day there's something new it's true. A light could shine on you'. But they try and they try. Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky. CHORUS.
