  • Shine on, shine the lights on me
    In all of my life so that much more I see

    In the light of his love
    In the light of reflection
    What a world this world
    Sometimes oh so it seems
    Eyes to the sky in the silver gift friendship
    Glittering prize
    Is the price of lost love
    They can remember quiet side of midnight
    They can remember attraction of fame
    Like a glittering prize
    I saw you up on a clear day
    First taking heart
    Then our last breath away

    Always came a time
    Time was by your side
    We were spending time
    We were starting out
    Catch me in a dream
    Captured all in heart
    We were spending time
    We were starting out
    Could there ever be
    Ever more than one
    Called an act of love
    Can you never stop?

    Shine on, shine the light on me
    In all of my life
    So that much more I see
    Like a glittering prize
    I saw you up on a clear day
    First taking hearts
    Then our last breath away

    Only on a clear day
    Coming in on our lives
    Only on a clear day
    Coming in on our life

    We can remember quiet side of midnight
    We can remember attraction of fame
    Like a glittering prize
    I saw you up on a clear day
    First taking hearts
    Then our last breath away

    See it in the eyes
    Satellite sky
    We were spending time
    We were starting out
    Take in, take in more
    Endless breath away
    We were starting out
    Now we're staring in
    Could there ever be
    Ever more than one
    Called an act of love
    Can you never stop?

    Shine on, shine the lights on me
    In all of my life, so that much more I see
    Like a glittering prize
    I saw you up on a clear day
    First taking hearts
    Then our last breath away

    Only on a clear day
    Coming in on our life
    Always on a clear day
    This is the price of love
    Like a glittering prize
    Only on a clear day
    Rushing into our life
    Is like the price of love
    Like a glittering prize
    Only on a clear day
    Rushing into our life
    Like a glittering prize Writer/s: Charles Burchill, Derek Forbes, James Kerr, Michael Joseph Mac Neil
