Lyrics
SHINE ON MY BABY
by Tommy Malta
Is that a tear in your eye? Let me wipe it out
Rip a hole in the sky like a knife in the clouds
Tell me friend, can I make you laugh again? You're far gone
Maybe you don't care why - but I hope that you'll hear me out
Hear me asking the sky - reach down and
Shine on my baby - shine on her day
It's no wonder you cry - there's a hole in your heart
The devil he lied - cut you apart
It was a sad long while and she never smiled again - she far gone
Baby I don't know why - and I don't know what to do
I'm asking the sky - reach down and
Shine on my baby - shine on her day
Shine on my baby - shine on her all day
Baby I can be strong - and you can bury your doubt
If our lifeline is long - we can ride it out
Maybe we don't know why - and a man can't figure it all
He's asking the sky - asking it why
Oh baby I can't say why - cause I'm damned for whatever I do
I'm asking the sky - reach down and
Shine on my baby - shine on her all day
Shine on my baby
Shine all day
