Lyrics

If you could see yourself through my eyes,
Your heart would melt like snowflakes on your tongue.
You'd find the gift of you, warm and wise,
Who could lift me higher than the sun.

(Chorus)
Like a rainbow sky,
You're a light that thrills my senses,
Pure delight, a joyful presence.
Shine on! Shine on!

Each time I hear your laugh or sweet hello,
A wave of gladness washes over me.
And when you take my hand, you touch my soul ~
That's as close to heaven I can be.

(Chorus)
Like a rainbow sky,
You're a light that thrills my senses,
Pure delight, a joyful presence.
Shine on! Shine on!

(Bridge)
Sunlight fades with evening. Moonlight fades with dawn.
But your light is forever. Shine on! Shine on!

(Chorus)
Like a rainbow sky,
You're a light that thrills my senses,
Pure delight, a joyful presence.
Shine on! Shine on!
Pure delight, a joyful presence.
Shine on! Shine on!
