Shine on Me (Live) - Mary Griffin

She'll never grace the centerfold of Playboy magazine And chances are you'll never see her on the silver screen She's by far the biggest star the world will never see But she don't shine for the rest of the world She's too busy shinin' on me. Shine on, shine on, Shine on though the world may never see Oh my baby won't you, shine on, shine on, Shine all your sweet love on me. --- Instrumental --- She won't be asked for autographs like all the movie stars She won't wear Paris fashions or ride in chauffeured cars But in her jeans she's the sexy dream that they'd all like to be But she don't shine for the rest of the world She's too busy shinin' on me. Shine on, shine on, Shine on though the world may never see Oh my baby won't you, shine on, shine on, Shine all your sweet love on me. Shine all your sweet love on me...

Oh, what can you do? Oh, what does it prove love, love? New love comes so, what can you do? When you're searching in the dark It doesn't matter if you're blind, does it? Can't you see that even lightning's just a spark? But it's so enlightening when you need to shine the light on me Oh, what can you do, love? Oh, if only we knew Oh, what does it prove, love? New love comes, so what can you do? My hands are colder when you're gone It makes it hard to play the notes I write to warm your mind But nothing's colder than a song That's never played in a pile of papers left behind Only God can know how the story's told Over and over again But we don't need to know why the flowers grow Let's just be happy they can When you're searching in the dark It doesn't matter if you're blind, does it? Can't you see that even lightning's just a spark? But it's so enlightening when you need to shine the light on me Oh, what can we do? Oh, what can we do? Shine the light on me Oh, what can we do?
