Shine On (Big Bight Moon, Shine On) - Original - Ruth Brown

Are they calling for our last dance?

I see it in your eyes

In your eyes

Same old moves for a new romance

I could use the same old lies, but I’ll sing

Shine on, just shine on

Close your eyes and they’ll all be gone

They can scream and shout that they’ve been sold out

But it paid for the cloud that we’re dancing on

So shine on, just shine on

With your smile just as bright as the sun

Cause they’re all just slaves to the gods they made

But you and I just shone

Just shone

And when silence greets my last goodbye

The words I need are in your eyes, and I’ll sing
