• Oh we are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  
  And the fire of a newborn moment is shining round you
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, a perfect stranger, a feeling of you
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are
  
  Perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  
  And the fire of a golden light is shining round you
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, the wind is cold and I long to hold you
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are
  
  We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  
  And the streets are filled with bells, and the sky was falling
  Kiele aloha
  There are so many things I long to tell you, can you hear me calling
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are
  
  We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  
  We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  
  We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time Writer/s: Sally Oldfield

• AnonymousOne of the best songs in the world if you ask me... perfectly sung, arranged dbd produced. Not to mentioned written. Sadly this world radio doesn't know how to appreciate such
• Edson Mello from Rio De Janeiro, BrazilThis song reminds me of good times of my youth and has a softness that enchants.
  
  Oh we are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  And the fire of a newborn moment is shining round you
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, a perfect stranger, a feeling of you,
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are...
  Perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  And the fire of a golden light is shining round you
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, the wind is cold, and I long to hold you
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are
  We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  And the streets are filled with bells, and the sky was falling
  Kiele aloha
  There are so many things I long to tell you, can you here me calling
  Kiele aloha
  Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are
  We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time
  There is nothing in the world that we can do
  To stop the light of love come shining through
  We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
  We are singing and dancing in perfect time...
