Story Behind The Song
This song came to me in an email as a poem called "A Prayer for You"... author unknown... after some research, I found the author as Frank J. Zamboni, same as the inventor of the Zamboni ice cleaning machine. However after more research and many phone calls, I have not been able to find a contact for this person... On that very same day, I had also received an email signed 'Shine on'... the two became one song plus one added verse I wrote for this CD...

Lyrics
SHINE ON
Verse 1
I said a prayer for you today
I know God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word
Verse 2
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
I knew you wouldn't mind
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind
Verse 3
I asked Him to be near you
At the start of each new day
To bring you health and blessings
And friends to share your way
Verse 4
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all
So you can... shine on...shine on...
Shine on...shine on... shine on....
Verse 5
Your spirit lives on in my heart
Love never dies
And this my friend is not the end
We go on to eternal lives... so we can...
Shine on...shine on...shine on...shine on...
