Lyrics

Shine on, shine the light on me,
In all of my life so that much more I see.
In the light of his love, In the light of reflection,
Oh what a world,
Or sometimes oh so it seems.
Eyes in the skies,
In that silver gift friendship,
A glittering prize,
Is it the prize of lost loves.

They can remember quiet sides of midnight,
They can remember the attraction of fame,
Like a glittering prize,
I saw up on a clear day,
First taking hearts,
Then our last breath away.

Always came a time – time was on our side,
We were spending time – we were staring out,
Catch me in a dream – Captured all in heart,
We were spending time – we were staring out,
Could there ever be – ever more than one?
It’s called an act of love,
Can you you never stop?

Shine on, shine the light on me,
In all of my life, so much more I see.
Like a glittering prize,
I saw you up on a clear day.
First taking heart, then our last breath away.

Only on a clear day, coming into our lives.

See it in the eye – satellite skies,
We were spending time – we were staring out,
Take in, take in more – the endless breath away,
We were spending time – we were staring out,
Could there ever be – ever more than one?
It’s called an act of love,
Can you you never stop?

Always on a clear day,
Crashing into our lives,
Is it the price of love,
Like a glittering prize.
Always on a clear day,
Crashing into our lives,
With your love,
Only on a clear day.
