Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Saw you stretched out in room ten oh nine
With a smile on your face and the tears right in your eye
Could not seem to get a line on you
My sweet honey love
[Verse 2]
And berber jewelry jangling down the street
Making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet
Could not seem to get high on you
My sweet honey love, yeah
[Verse 3]
May the good Lord, shine a light on you
Make every song you sing, your favorite tune
May the good Lord, shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
[Verse 4]
And you're drunk in the alley with your clothes all torn
And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn
Just seemed too many flies on you
I just can't brush 'em off
[Verse 5]
And the angels beating all their wings in time
With a smile on their face and a gleam right in their eye
Could not seem to get a high on you
Come on up now, come on up now, come on up
[Verse 6]
May the good Lord, shine a light on you
Make every song you sing, your favorite tune
May the good Lord, shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
[Verse 7]
Come on up now, come on up now, come on up now, come on up
[Verse 8]
May the good Lord, shine a light on you
Make every song you sing, your favorite tune
May the good Lord, shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
[Verse 9]
May the good Lord, shine a light on you
Make every song you sing, your favorite tune
May the good Lord, shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
Written by: Keith Richards, Mick Jagger
