Shine on me darling won't you shine while you can While your holding my heart in the palm of your hand Oh your love is a shelter but time is a thief And forever's a promise that I know you can't keep Tell me your secrets baby tell me your lies Cause you know I believe you when I look in your eyes And I'm sure that your leaving's gonna make me feel blue But right now I can't think of a better way I could lose I can't keep the morning from stealing you away I can't stops the clock no I can't hold back the day So won't you shine on me darling while the night is in bloom While we're just shadows dancing on the walls of your room While the stars are all waiting and the moons riding high Won't you shine on me darling dry those tears for your eyes They say the brightest candle will always burn out fast But maybe some things are just to good to last You can turn a blind eye to all that you feel You can put off living with the strength of your will But the clock goes on ticking to the beat of your heart And sooner or later it's gonna tear you apart
