Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Open your arms in the early mornin'
When that light comes shinin' through
Can't you hear my heart beat just for you?
Beatin' so wild, honey (So wild, ooh)
And the light comes shinin' through (Ooh, hey)
[Verse 2]
Singin' my song and the band is playin'
And the music is tried, tried and true, yes
Can't you hear my heart beat just for you?
It's beating so wild, so wild, honey, yeah
And the light comes shinin' through
[Verse 3]
I'll be waitin' for you
I'll be waitin' there for thee (I'll be waitin' for you)
Way up on the mountainside
Where the hillside rolls, rolls down to the sea
[Verse 4]
Tell me what's real? (Won't you tell me?)
What you feel inside (What do you really feel?)
Any time of day or night will do
(Any time of day or night, you can call me anytime)
Can't you hear my heart beat just for you?
(Can't you hear my heart beat?)
And it's so wild, honey (So wild, so wild)
And the light comes shinin' through
(Shine on, shine on, shine through, shine, oh)
[Verse 5]
(Oh, yeah, play on, play on, yes, ooh, ooh)
I'll be waitin' for you (Yes, I'll be waitin' for you)
I'll be waitin' there for thee (I'll be waitin' there)
For thee (For as long as it takes, yes, I will)
Way up on the the mountainside
(Way up on a mountainside)
Where the hillside rolls (Where the hillside rolls)
Down to the sea (Rolls, down to the sea)
[Verse 6]
Tell me what's real? (Tell me)
What I feel inside (Anytime)
Any time of day or night will do
(Any time of day or night, baby, hey)
Can't you hear my heart beat just for you? (Just for you, yeah)
And it's so wild, honey (So wild)
So wild (So wild)
[Verse 7]
Your the light, and the light
And the light, and the light
And the light, and the light
And the light, and the light
And the light, and the light
And the light, and the light, and the light
And the light, and the light
And the light, and the light, and the light comes shinin' through
The light, the light, the light, the light, the light
The light, the light, the light, the light, the light
The light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the light
The light, the light, the light comes shinin' through
The light, the light, the light, the light, the light, the light,
The light, the light, the light comes shinin' through
Help the the light and come on shine people (Get your light shining)
Let it shine on, let it shine, ooh, shine true (Ooh, yeah)
