Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shine on, shine on, shine the light on me
Through all of my life, much more I see
Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts, then our last breath away
[Verse 2]
Always came a time
Time was by my side
We were staring out, now we're looking in
Catch me in a dream
Captured all in heart
We were staring out, now we're looking in
Could there ever be?
Ever more than one
It's called an act of love
Can you never stop?
[Verse 3]
Shine on, shine on, shine the light on me
Through all of my life, much more I see
Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts, last breath away
[Verse 4]
Always came a time
Time was by my side
We were staring out, now we're looking in
Catch me in a dream
Captured all in heart
We were staring out, now we're looking in
Could there ever be?
Ever more than one
Called an act of love
Can you never stop?
[Verse 5]
Shine on, shine on, shine the light on me
Through all of my life, much more I see
Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts, last breath away
[Verse 6]
Shine on, shine on, shine the light on me
Through all of my life, much more I see
Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts, last breath away
[Verse 7]
Shine on, shine on, shine the light on me
Through all of my life, much more I see
Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts, last breath away
[Verse 8]
Shine on, shine on, shine the light on me
Through all of my life, much more I see
Like a glittering prize I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts, last breath away
