Danny's Song

Indigo Girls · Other Songs - Indigo Girls

People smile and tell me I'm a lucky one

We've just begun

I think I'm gonna have a son

And he will be like he and me as free as a dove

Conceived in love

The sun is gonna shine above



Even though we ain't got money

Well I'm so in love with you honey

And everything will bring a chain of love

And in the morning when I rise

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

And tell me everything is gonna be all right



Love a boy who holds the world in a paper cup

Drink it up

Love him and he'll bring you luck

And if you find he helps your mind

Sister take him home

Don't you live alone

Try to earn what lovers own



Even though we ain't got money

Well I'm so in love with you honey

And everything will bring a chain of love

And in the morning when I rise

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

And tell me everything is gonna be all right



And even though we ain't got money

Well I'm so in love with you honey

And everything will bring a chain of love

And in the morning when I rise

You bring a tear of joy to my eyes

And tell me everything is gonna be all right
