Although the things you've done
I wouldn't criticize
I guess you had your way

You see, I gotta make you understand
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say
But it don't matter, baby
Cause today's another day

[CHORUS]
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

Remember, tonight
We're gonna run till dawn
Remember, tonight
We're gonna say, we'll never stop
We got a good thing going on

I know you've heard it all before
But I really need you, darling
Every day, I need you more

[Repeat CHORUS]

Can you understand (yes, I understand)
Can you feel it's right
(I know it is) will you be the same
(I'll do it all again)

It's been a year now
And it's getting so much better
You came home without a word
Though everybody said
You'll soon forget her

They couldn't see and
They just didn't understand
And looking in the mirror
There were fools at either hand

[Repeat CHORUS]

Can you understand (yes, I understand)
Can you feel it's right
(I know it is) will you be the same
(I'll do it all again)

How many days had I been
Waiting there to tell you
I really can't believe
We're walking out into the world tonight

We'll do it all again
Until the break of light
And the feeling in your heart
Will soon be shining in your eyes

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

You shine a little love on my life (Shine on me)
You shine a little love on my life (whoa, whoa, whoa)

You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

You shine a little love on my life (Shine)
You shine a little love on my life (E.L.O.)
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see
