SHINE ON 

 

Seeing as you’re leaving now

Can I steal one drink before I go

One last time for a lifetime of the heartache

And the soft wind blown

And your moon it rolls and rolls around

And never stray it far from home

You’ve got the heart of a lifetime and the eyes of an angel

I’ve got my tendency to hold on

To hold on

Until the day is done

But when it’s over then it’s over

May you go and shine on

 

Seeing as your ship’s come in

So long, so long ago

I guess it’s time I stop staring at the water now

Take my head from under hold it high and hit the road

Hit the road

Walk out into the noon day sun

 

‘Cause when it’s over, then it’s over

May you go and shine on

When it’s over, then it’s over

May you go and shine on

 

And now that you’ve punched out on me

You leave your legacy in my memory

And burn the image of you right into the backs of my eyes

And if you need me someday

I’ll be out there walking somewhere in the distance

Shining on

Shining on

Until the day I die

 

And seeing as you’re leaving now

Can I still one glimpse before I go

One last time for a lifetime of the heartache

And the soft wind blown

And the soft wind blown

And the soft wind blown
