Daddy

When you can't find the light
That guides you through a cloudy day
When the stars ain't shinin' bright
And you fill like you've lost you're way
When the candle lights of home
Burn so very far away

Well you got to let your soul shine

Just like my daddy used to say

He used to say soul shine

Its better than sunshine

I grew up thinkin' that I had it made
Gonna make it on my own
But life can take the strongest man
And make him feel so alone
Now and then I feel a cold wind
Blowin' through my achin' bones
I think back to what my daddy said
He said Boy, in the darkness before the dawn

Let your soul shine

Its better than sunshine

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this
And when your world seems cold
You got to let your spirit take control

Let your soul shine

Its better than sunshine

We all get this way sometimes

Got to let your soul shine

Shine till the break of day

Three of my Dad's music request for my brother to play consisted of Soulshine by Gov't Mule, Melissa by The Allman Brothers and Layla by Eric Clapton.....
anytime I hear those songs I think about my Daddy and my brother singing together.

Sweet memories!

I miss him!
