Lyrics

Shine
©2016, Peter Goodman

Hold on to me darling
Though I’ve nothing left to give you
The wells have all run dry
Keep my money in an old shoe

You lost something precious to you
But don't lose it in your mind
A ring is just a thing
And things can be so unkind

It's inside me
A thought that's only mine
But everyone should know
Mama’s diamond
Shines.
It still shines.

The ground lies fallow and I bet
It’ll lie again this year
The stars have not aligned
Can’t even get in first gear

It's inside me
A thought that's only mine
But everyone should know
Papa’s garden
Shines.
When it shines.

I have so much to give you
That I hope you’ll hold on to
But if you don’t, that’s OK
I will always love you

It's inside me
A thought that's only mine
But everyone should know
Mimi’s fiddle
Shines.
It really shines.
Shine.
Shine.
