Patti Ecker - singer/songwriter/entertainer: Listen

Shine

(Patti Ecker)
Shine
words and music Patti Ecker
Sunlight breakin’ the water
Sailboats ridin’ the line
Love to spend the day with you
Watch your eyes do what they do, and
Just look at ‘em shine

There’s a glow in the streetlights
I’ve never seen in my time
City streets and the avenues
Reflectin’ what I want for you, and
I just want you to shine

There’s a star in the heavens above
Brighter than the Fourth of July
Hold on to the things that you love
Pretty soon you will fly

And if you’re sailin’ without me
It just wasn’t our time
I hope you know it’s true
I only want the best for you, and
I just want you to shine
