Shine On

I look down at the carpet before me I guess I’m the one to ignore To ignore…face down on the floor Don’t hit me – I’m sore I don’t know what to say sometimes I’ve committed too many selfish crimes I am so afraid of the darkness… Veiling my eyes… The sun does shine, but I know That you all care for me…it makes me smile with glee You take me out of the abyss The moon begins to dim and grow dark like a crow I am so afraid of the darkness His light does glow bright, but I show off His shimmering spirit Tonight, you will play fair… Tonight, we are a fine, fine pair… (Ch.) Hmm….hmm… hmm… Hmm…x6 Oh, shine on, pure light from the moon…there’s enough room For you and I…to shine on Oh, shine on, precious sight…relieving the gloom Oh, bring it on, don’t start a fight Oh, bring it on, let’s sleep this splendid night I look down at the paper before me I guess I’m the one with this purple pen I don’t know what to do, baby But, I’ve been wondering Where have you been? Where have you been? Shine on, my little sunlight Shine on like the dawn…boy, what a fantastic sight (Ch.) Hmm….hmm… hmm… Hmm…x6 Oh, shine on, pure light from the moon…there’s enough room For you and I…to shine on Oh, shine on, precious sight…relieving the gloom Oh, bring it on, don’t start a fight Oh, bring it on, let’s sleep this splendid night I catch a glimpse of the ceiling lights I look up at it for a second or two… Ooh….ooh…ooh… I guess I’m the one left behind…in back of the line… I’m secluded from the crowd…lost in a multitude… But I won’t make a big fuss out of it…I’ll have a positive attitude… Commotion becomes louder…I’m pretty loud myself. Hah… I’m lost in a maze of people of all shapes and sizes I’m in a big crisis…I’m getting good vibes around you though (Ch.) Hmm….hmm… hmm… Hmm…x6 Oh, shine on, pure light from the moon…there’s enough room For you and I…to shine on Oh, shine on, precious sight…relieving the gloom Oh, bring it on, don’t start a fight Oh, bring it on, let’s sleep this splendid night I guess I’m the only one left behind Only to find… Only to find… His light…now, I’m blind… But His light makes me quite certain… For a minute, He makes me feel important… I’m feeling very, very content… I don’t know where to flee But, I’ll be…happy…(for you) x3 (Ch.) Hmm….hmm… hmm… Hmm…x6 Oh, shine on, pure light from the moon…there’s enough room For you and I…to shine on Oh, shine on, precious sight…relieving the gloom Oh, bring it on, don’t start a fight Oh, bring it on, let’s sleep this splendid night I look up to You, Lord You never make me feel bored Oh…oh…oh…oooh… (Thank you everyone and Him…for hearing my typed or written words)
