This is the tune that started it all for me. The song that launched and inspired the making of the full length album "Mother's Dream".
It came to me during a very dark time in my life. I had lost my job, my friends, my house, and for a time, my mind. Anxiousness, depression, and panic clouded reason. In this song delusion and dreams hit the light of day.

lyrics
Verse I:
Too much, too little, too late
Oh boy it's always something
Too fast, too slow, can't take
This trouble any longer
This feeling I can't shake
Would someone break these chains
I've tried I've cried no way
I pray to save the day
If you only know how great you are
Good intentions only go so far
Chorus:
Gooday, Gooday Sunshine
Can't wait 'til you're all mine
Gooday, Gooday Sunshine
Feelin', feelin' so fine
Verse II:
Too much, too little, too late
Hey boys she's lookin' my way
So pretty wanna know her name
Too shy got nothing to say
Too bold does it matter anyway ?
It's a chance that I have to take
It's a fear that I have to face
I think I'll shine today
If you only know how great you are
Good intentions only go so far
Chorus (Repeat)
Bridge:
Gooday, Gooday my sunshine it's tuesday
You slept through the night it's a new day
A new day my sunshine for you
Welcome home...Sha-La's
Chorus Repeat Out
