It's All Too Much

Release date: 13 January 1969

It's all too much
It's all too much
When I look into your eyes
Your love is there for me
And the more I go inside
The more there is to see.
It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere it's what you make for us to take, it's all too much
Floating down the stream of time
From life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are or where you'd like to be.
It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around here.
All the world is birthday cake so take a piece but not too much.
Sail me on a silver sun
Where I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere and get me home for tea.
It's all too much for me to see
A love that's shining all around here
The more I learn, the less I know
And what I do is all too much
It's all too much for me to take
A love that's shining all around you
Everywhere it's what you make for us to take it's all too much.
It's too much, it's too much.
...with your long blond hair and your eyes of blue
Too much, too much, too much
