Shine Like The Sun

Dolly Parton - Shine Like the Sun

I've been down on my luck,

I've been shadowed with trouble and sorrow.

But I ain't givin' up

'Cause I know there is always tomorrow.

There are no guarantees,

Life is always a hit or a miss.

But I truly believe

I won't always be feeling like this.

.

I'm gonna shine like the sun

When these clouds roll away from my door.

When it's all said and done

I won't be at your mercy no more.

I will prove my own worth,

Heal the damage and hurt that's been done.

And when the crying's all done.

Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun.

.

I've been thinking here lately

What all I can do to improve.

Though I've suffered greatly,

I know just what I have to do.

I have to move forward,

Cut losses, break loose and move on.

And I have to swim shoreward

Lest I should drown out here alone.

.

I'm gonna shine like the sun

When these clouds roll away from my door.

I won't crawl I can run

I'll be at no one's mercy no more.

I'll be swinging on sunbeams

So proud that I finally won.

And when the losing's all done.

Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun.

.

I'm gonna shine, I'm gonna shine.

.

I'm gonna shine like the sun.

When these clouds roll away from my door.

And when it's all said and done

I won't be at your mercy no more.

I'll be off chasin' rainbows,

Rejoicin' and havin' my fun.

And when the crying's all done,

Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun.

When the crying's all done,

When the trying's all done,

When the lying's all done

There'll be nothin' but sun.

When it's all said and done

Well, I'm gonna shine like the sun.

Shine like the sun, shine like the sun.
