Shine a little light.
I have often seen your face.
It tells me more than Words can do.
I have so much to say to you.
But how can I give my Words to you.
You never look my way anymore.
But still in spite of everything.
I am here and I want you to know that you can call me day and night.
I’ll wait and even in the darkest of times shine a little light.
You have often seen my face.
It tells you more than Words can do.
You don’t have many Words for me.
But how can you give your Words to me now.
Your eyes never look my way anymore.
But still in spite of everything.
I am here and I want you to know that you can call me day and night.
I’ll wait and even in the darkest of times shine a little light.
I have often seen you cry.
It tells me more than Words can do.
I have so much to give to you.
But how can I give it to you now.
You don’t want anything I can give to you anymore.
But still in spite of everything.
I am here and I want you to know that you can call me day and night.
I’ll wait and even in the darkest of times shine a little light.
You have not often seen me cry.
It must tell you more than Words can do.
You have nothing to give to me.
But how can I live without it now.
You don’t have anything to give to me anymore.
But still in spite of everything.
I am here and I want you to know that you can call me day and night.
I’ll wait and even in the darkest of times shine a little light.
The words of , ” Shine a little light ” , convey an ineffable poignancy and vulnerability that immediately reminded me of the lyrics of those great American singer-songwriters who flourished in the early 1970’s; Jim Croce,James Taylor, Neil Diamond, Kris Kristofferson etc. “Shine a little light ” really is that good.
In fact it is inspired by those great sing and songwriters from the seventies..I only added my personality and style to it 🙂 Hope you all like it 🙂
Sweet lyrical emotion Jachso, it is lively 🙂
Thank you Sangeeta, nice to know you like it and find it lively 😀
