Shine

I was just a stone in the bottom of the river that caught your eye

The way the light cast on me

But I don’t really glow it’s just the ripples and the waves of the water

And the way the light shone on me

Chorus:

So why should I be surprised

That my shine had caught your eye

But I knew that you would put me down in time

When I no longer shined

I was just a round old geode that someone cracked open

In some Grandma’s flower garden

And my jagged angles glowed in the sunlight among the tulips

Just fools gold for children

Chorus

Oh it seems to take a lifetime to achieve perfection

In your maker’s eyes

But it only takes an instant to lose the attention

Or the sparkle in a young beholder’s eyes

When you no longer shine

I was just a singer in a bar with a beat up guitar

And a sack full of songs at my show

And I caught your eye and I suppose you had a fancy

For things under lights that seemed to glow

Chorus
