I was lost in darkness and sinking sand 
Well I was barely nothing, a broken man 
But you picked up the pieces of my heart in your hand 
Then you came and showed to me love's second chance 

Shine on, shine on, shine on me 
Whenever something's missing 
You're exactly what I need 
Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see 
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah 

Lord knows that I'm not perfect but I sure do try 
And I see the man that I can be in your eyes 
Well there are times I still get lost in yesterday 
But you put the past behind me and you light my way 

Shine on, shine on, shine on me 
Whenever something's missing 
You're exactly what I need 
Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see 
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah 

Shine on (let your love shine) 
Shine on (on me) 
Shine all your love on me, yeah 
(Your love on me) 
Shine all your love on me, yeah 

Shine on, shine on, shine on me 
Whenever something's missing 
You're exactly what I need 
Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see 
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah 

Shine on, shine on, shine on me 
Won't you keep on shining, yeah 
Won't you keep on shining your love 
Down on me, baby 
Won`t you keep on shining, yeah 
Won`t you keep on shining your love 
Yeah, you're exactly what I need, baby 
Yeah, you are
