(Cyndi Lauper, William Wittman)

Shine I'll stand by you

Don't try and push me away

'cause I'm just gonna stay

You can shine I won't deny you

And don't be afraid it'll all be ok



Do you know my name

Well I ain't gonna take

that big time line

won't be beat by a lie

Gonna call out to these embers

waiting to ignite

Gonna pull you up

By your love, by your love

and tell you



Shine I'll stand by you...



I can see the frown you wear

All around like some faded crown

Like a watch over wound

Gonna call down to this diamond

buried underground

Gonna pull you up

by your love, by your love

and tell you



When it's said and done

What you need will come

and time won't let me

Let you let me waste it this time

shine...
