Shine on, shine on me All I know is now I want you close to me I can't really tell you what the future's gonna be Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Lean on, lean on me Something tells me that's the way it's gotta be I can't really show you what the future's gonna be Just for now, little lady, lean on me
To fall in love with love was maybe, just a fantasy And promises we made could be insane Don't think of tomorrow, yesterday is past And if you could, you know we could make it last
(guitar solo (Joey Molland)
Drink on, drink on me Slip and slide so I'll forget reality I can't really say if I'll come on and get so free Just for now, little lady, drink on me
To fall in love with love was maybe, just a fantasy And promises we made could be insane Don't think of tomorrow, yesterday is past And if you could, you know we could make it last
Shine on, shine on me All I know is now I want you close to me I can't really tell you what the future's gonna be Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Just for now, little lady, shine on me Just for now, little lady, shine on me.
You had a dream You know you dreamt so much You had a dream You know it meant so much
You're just a victim of the circumstance I mean, what else could you do? You saw your dream and you just took a chance And for a while your dream came true What could you do?
You had a goal You know you aimed so high You had soul You knew you had to try
You're just a victim of the time of day No matter what you say or do You saw your dream and you just took a play And for a while your dream came true What could you do? What could you do?
(guitar solo (Pete Ham))
You're just a victim of the circumstance I mean, what else could you do? You saw your dream and you just took a chance And for a while your dream came true What could you do? What could you do? What could you do? What could you do?
I wanna tell you how much I need you now I wanna show you what love can do Can you take me like I am? Loving you now can be sad I can remember times we have had And for you now, my heart goes out, once again
You turn me down, I wonder why You turn away with sunken eyes I see nothing but the best I imagine all the rest coming true
I wanna touch you, I wanna be with you now I wanna show you what love can do I can take you like a man Loving you now can be sad I can remember times we have had But for you now, my heart goes out, once again
You turn me down, I wonder why You turn away with sunken eyes I see nothing but the best I imagine all the rest coming true
For you now, my heart goes out For you now, my heart goes out, once again.
Live in hope of love And wait to die Sadness all around us makes for crying Feelings that once meant so much Were left to dry and turn to dust, and ashes We learn to wheel and deal And say goodbye Madness all around us makes for dying The young deceivers soon turn old And left to die beside amongst their gold Cash it Give it up or we'll end up in ours give it up Give it up give yourself time Give it up save your son Give it up give it up Give it up
Drive a million miles to see the sun Hoping we are not to late for saving The lord will smile on you to day Give you love that you can trade For matches TV and movie stars And driving cars it's catchy
Give it up or we will end up in ours Give it up Give it up Give it up give yourself time Give it up save your son
Run out of money Run outta good Run outta reasons and misunderstood Run out of rhythm Run out of rhyme Right out of feelings and right out of time
Living in limbo, hanging around Head on the ceiling and mind in the clouds Blind is the morning and deaf is the night Comes without warning and leaves me in fright
Saving all my money, yeah, for the rainy days I'm packin' up my suitcase, make it pay
(guitar solo (Joey Molland))
Run out of patience And run out of lies Run out of spaces and nowhere to hide Living and loving is easy to get Living is something we haven't tried yet
Yeah, I've been saving all my money, yeah, for the rainy days Well, I'm packin' up my suitcase, make it pay
Hey (double guitar solo (Joey Molland & Pete Ham))
I run out of money Run out of good Run out of reasons and misunderstood Run out of rhythm Run out of rhyme Right out of feelings and right out of time
Blind is the morning and deaf is the night Comes without warning and leaves me in fright
I've been saving all my money, yeah, for the rainy days I'm packin' up my suitcase, make it pay.
