The Shine

The shine of life has lost its sparkle The shine that once was there is now gone No matter how hard you try to find it Dullness lingers on and on and on The days when life was so easy The days when love was so strong The shine gleamed on every surface The shine of good times that went on and on Though weary, cracked and broken Though tough times go on and on and on We sometimes find our shine together Just like the days when we were always in the sun Life can be cruel and unrelenting Life can be tough and sometimes wrong This time that we live in may not have much sparkle But when I look in your eyes I see sunshine That's where the beauty of my life shines on and on and on
