Lyrics
Shine a Little Light on Me
Copyright 1997 Virgil Brown
What am I gonna do if I don’t have you to pray for me?
You say for me what I can’t say to god
Wand what am I gonna do if I don’t have you to pull for me
Oh the strings that I can never pull myself
If you go on to another place I’ll miss more than just your face
This cold hard world won’t even feel the same
And if I go before you do and what you’re saying turns out true
Then everything is still gonna work out fine
Shine a Little Light on me, even if I can’t see it
Deep down inside I’ll know it comes from you
Shine a Little Light on me, even if I can’t see it
Deep down inside I’ll know it comes from you
What am I gonna do if I don’t have you to go fishin’ with?
I bet that old Mercury is still runnin’ fine
And what am I gonna do if I don’t have you to go within with?
Oh with you wishes were horses and beggars ride
If you go on to another place I’ll miss more than just your face
This cold hard world won’t even feel the same
And if I go before you do and what you’re saying turns out true
Then everything is still gonna work out fine
Shine a Little Light on me, even if I can’t see it
Deep down inside I’ll know it comes from you
Shine a Little Light on me, even if I can’t see it
Deep down inside I’ll know it comes from you
