Shine On Me

(album: New Ways But Love Stays - 1970)

Hello, sunshine
The sky looks dark when you're not here
Shine on me now
Shine on
Shine on
(Shine on me now)
(Shine on me now)

You're free as a birdie that fly
(Tra-la la la la la la)
You went your way through the open sky
(Through the open sky)
Clouds wouldn't block your path
You'll always seems to find the way
To rise above the tides

Hello, sunshine (Hello, sunshine)
The world turns cold when you're not near
Shine on me now
(Shine on me now)

Your working days never through
(Never through)
But the work you're doing you were born to do
(You were born to do it)
No one can fence you in
You answer only to the silent voice of just one man, yeah

Why don't you take me
Mm-hmm (Take me, take me)
I wanna live my life at ease
Why don't you take me
(Take me, take me)
I wanna live proud and free
Why don't you (Take me, take me)
Yeah-yeah (Take me, take me)
My life's been up
My life's been down
My life's been turning around here
Why, why, why, why, why, why don't you
(Yeah)
(Yeah)

(Shine on, sunshine)
(Sunshine, shine on me)
Oh, why don't you shine on me

(Shine) shine on, sunshine
(Sunshine, shine on me)
Shine on me!
(Shine, shine on sunshine)
(Sunshine, shine on me)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Hello, sunshine (Hello, sunshine)
The sky looks dark when you're not here
Shine on me now (Shine on me, baby)
The world turns cold when you're not near
Hello, sunshine (Hello, sunshine)
The sky looks dark when you're not here
Shine on me now (Shine on me, baby)
Oh yeah
I'm on a one down happy spirit
And let me live my life proud and free, yeah
Ooh, shine (Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine)
Shine (Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine)
Ooh, yeah, do do do
Do do do do
Shine on me (Do do do do)
(Do do do do)
Shine on me, yeah (shine on me)
Shine on (Shine on me)
Shine on me (Shine on me)
Shine on me, baby (Shine on me)
Come on (Shine on me)
Yeah, shine on me
