The shining. For Tara.
It shines.
It shines from the new-born baby;
shines in the magic of birth.
It shines in first love;
in lasting love.
It shines in laughter,
in tears of sadness,
in tears of joy.
It shines in wisdom,
shines in goodness,
shines as beauty.
It shines in the held breath
of the peace of dawn about to break;
it shines in the stillness
of the hour of sunset.
It shines as life.
There is no limit to its shining
except the denying of it
and even then,
it shines
Since you know it so well,
does it need a name?
A name perhaps, to praise?
Nameless, known to all,
beyond all praise,
it shines.

Love Shines
You've got a sweet heart
Never will you be replaced
And it's so hard
The memory can't be erased

War (But The Moon Shines Bright)
Gunfire
Screams
And the moon shines so bright
Many soldiers
Many troops
And the moon shines so bright
Your best friend
Shot
And the moon shines so bright
His last words
'Tell my wife I love her! '
And the moon shines so bright
Tears in your eyes
Why happen such things?
And the moon shines so bright
So many dead people
War is horrible
But the moon shines bright
The whole horrible night

Oh How She Shines
(doug johnson/pat bunch)
Darling I have a true confession
I ran into an old flame today
You wouldnt like the way our conversation
Turned to how we let each other slip away
I was reminded of a half forgotten feeling
One I shared with her so long ago
Since honesty is one thing we believe in
Let me tell you something you should know
Oh how she shines
Shines a light on you
And in that light I see
Just how much you mean to me
Oh how she shines
There was a time when she was all that mattered
Long before I gave my heart to you
But standing there only inches from her
She touched my hand and suddenly I knew
If there was a time I ever doubted
What Id do if she walked through my door
Could I turn around and leave without her
With all my heart now I can say for sure
Oh how she shines
Shines a light on you
And in that light I see
Just how much you mean to me
Oh how she shines
Oh how she shines

Images Of The Sun
Sun shines
waves caress
sand's so hot
winter must confess
White and brown
seem to fly all around
and the sun shines
but shines not on me
Seagulls high
lonely bay
I shout at the waves
who hear not what I say
The tide is in
and the sun shines
thoughts so quiet
on images of the sun

When the Sun Shines
I am always here
I am in the wind
That whispers thru the pine
I am always here
I'm the achingly beautiful melody
Playing across your mind
When the sun shines, when the sun shines
I am always here
I am the emptiness in the night
Keeping you in memories until dawn
I am the past and future
Lingering on and on
I am always here
And sometimes I call your name
I play across your mind
On waves of memories
When the sun shines, when the sun shines
I am here.
Dena, may you find laughter and dance and song now
Love Me Till The Sun Shines
You dont have to look at me
You dont have to smile at me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
You dont have to cook for me
You dont have to laugh with me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Take my money, I dont mind
You can be such a helpless kind[? ]
You just have to love me till the sun shines
You dont have to sleep with me
Or rest your head upon my knee
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Baby you can wear my clothes,
Play my records, stay at my home
Long as you just love me till the sun shines
You can take it, I dont mind
Please dont be such a helpless kind
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Baby, baby I dont know what Im doing
Everything I do it turns to ruin[? ]
Baby you can kiss my friends
Baby theres nothing that Ill end[? ]
Long as you just love me till the sun shines
You dont have to walk the streets
When theres someone waiting here
Come on, baby, love me till the sun shines
Come on, baby, I dont mind
Two lonely people, the helpless kind[? ]
Come on, baby, love me till the sun shines
You dont have to look at me
You dont have to smile at me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
You dont have to cook for me
You dont have to laugh with me
You just have to love me till the sun shines
Take my money, I dont mind
You can be such a helpless kind[? ]
You just have to love me till the sun shines

A Beautiful Life
You seem to make the same mistakes everyday
Sometimes its hard to open your eyes
You want to be the only cake on the table
Yeah, you say you dont like surprises
You want to find a pretty little place to stay
You just dont want to live and leave
I just want to be where the sun shines down
I just want to be where the sun shines down
I just want to be with you
Oh,
I really hate how you push me away
I do not like it when you shut me out
I say I love you but I really dont know you
I want to change you but I dont know how
I want to leave when it gets ugly and cold
I want to leave but I have no where to go
I just want to be where the sun shines down
Yeah, I just want to be where the sun shines down
On a beautiful life
I just want to find a beautiful life
I want to be where the sun shines down
I just want to find a beautiful life
I dont care where we go
I dont care where we go
You seem to make the same mistakes all the time
Sometimes its not too hard to understand why
You say you hate the things you have done
Yeah, you have been running with your back to the sun
You want to find a place where you dont have to hide
You say youre just happy to be alive
I just want to be where the sun shines down
Yeah, I just want to be where the sun shines down
Yeah, yeah
I just want to be where the sun shines down
On a beautiful life
I just want to find a beautiful life
I just want to be where the sun shines down
I just want to find a beautiful life
I want to be where the sun shines down
I want to be where the sun shines down
I dont care where we go
I dont care what we do
As long as I can be with you
I just want to be with you

My Star Shines Bright
No matter how dark things seem around me, my star shines bright…
When there is only Darkness…and no light…
My star shines bright.
When I am out in the night…
My star shines bright.
When there is no sun, moon, or any other star in site.
My star…Shines bright.
Things in my life my not always be fair…
But I have my star and its Sparkling Glare
My Goal is clearly not in sight…
But I can find it, with my star that shines bright.
I can see the light
With my star that shines bright.
My star…
Turns the darkness of the night
Into the sparkling sight
Of the Glimmering Light! !
My star…
Shines bright…

Every Little Star
Every little star that twinkles
up in the sky each night
shines up there to brighten
up some poor soul’s life.
One shines down on the lonely
leading them to someone to comfort their soul.
Another shines on the broken hearted
telling them that they will love again.
Every little star in the night sky is there for everyone.
When it shines bright on your life
then you know you are a special one.
There is a star for everyone
no matter who they are
and wishing upon that star
will make your dreams come true.

How the sky shines
Have you ever thought how the sky Shines
Just with a little light
Have you ever thought how the sky shines
with a little rise
Have you ever thought how the sky shines
Just with morning
Have you ever thought how sky shines
with a shadow of light

Shining Son
That light that shines so brightly
Behind my path of life,
Comes from the son I held so dearly,
At his birth time with my wife.
I held his tiny fingers,
With tears of joy inside,
All I did was look at him,
He swelled my heart with pride.
I watched as he grew stronger,
Through all his childhood joys,
With bruises gained through sports,
And skills with childhood toys.
Now I watch with trepidation,
As he moves out all alone,
I hope that I’ve prepared him,
For a lifetime on his own.
We do what we can with our children,
No matter how happy or sad,
That son that shines so brightly,
Shines on cause I’m his dad.

The Son Never Shines (On Closed Doors)
I saw her there from afar
Her hair grey charcoal
Takes a drag from her tar
I kissed her a smile
But her blood red shot eye
Said the son never shines on closed doors
It's been eight long years since I saw
The woman who's labored
Since the day I was born
These wrinkles now face
To that cold dark damp place
Where the son never shines on closed doors
She said the son never shines on closed doors
I open to find only hurricanes blow
Take me away back to the green fields of May
Because the son never shines on closed doors
Death comes like a theif in the night
To steal while you sleep
The soul's flickering licght
Well maybe it's then
She said

That One Far Shining Light Of Lights
That One far shining light of lights
Which lights the eyes of everyone.
That One far shining light of lights
Which lights the mind of man
That One far shining light of lights
Which warms all that can be found
That One far shining light of lights
Which is the love of all for all
That One far shining light of lights
Which shines so very bright
That One far shining light of lights
Which shines equally in every place
That One far shining light of lights
Which has no time to rise or fall
May that light shine through all of us
May it shine through you and me
That One far shining light of lights
Which shines, and shines for all.

Shine
(mick hucknall)
Ooh Ill remember those old love letters
Plagued with memories I cant forget us
Trying to fight it
Trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out boy
It never ended
Trying to fight it
Trying to hide it
Your love it shines
In a cruel hard world
Its a miracle to find
Someone good
Someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
Here in this appartment with oh too many rooms
Pearls once meant something they brought me only gloom
Trying to fight it
Trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out boy
It never ended
Crime can fight it
Lies can hide it
Your love it shines
In a cruel hard world
Its a miracle to find
Someone good
Someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
Youd better shine it up
Youd better shine it up
Youd better shine it up
Youd better shine it up
In a cruel hard world
Its a miracle to find
Someone good
Someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines

It Was an English Ladye Bright
It was an English ladye bright,
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)
And she would marry a Scottish knight,
For Love will still be lord of all.
Blithely they saw the rising sun
When he shone fair on Carlisle wall;
But they were sad ere day was done,
Though Love was still the lord of all.
Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
Her brother gave but a flask of wine,
For ire that Love was lord of all.
For she had lands both meadow and lea,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And he swore her death, ere he would see
A Scottish knight the lord of all.
That wine she had not tasted well
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)
When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell,
For Love was still the lord of all!
He pierced her brother to the heart,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall:--
So perish all would true love part
That Love may still be lord of all!
And then he took the cross divine,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And died for her sake in Palestine;
So Love was still the lord of all.
Now all ye lovers, that faithful prove,
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)
Pray for their souls who died for love,
For Love shall still be lord of all!

Now That Theres You
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Now that theres you
I can get up in the morning
Look down the lonesome road
Know that I have the strength to carry on
Now that theres you
Love abides in my soul
I have a purpose, I have a goal
I can reach out and touch the star
Yesterday it seemed so far
Now that theres you, oh you
No matter the trial
Ill get by coz I know theres an answer
Somewhere in your smile
Now that theres you
I can reach that mountain top
till I get there I wont stop
Ive a new sense of pride
It makes me do things I never tried
Now that theres you oh, you
I can feel I am real
At last I taste the honey
Im alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that theres you
Hey, you
Oh oh oh oh
I see all the colours the world was supposed to be
And now a robin sings and I know theres spring
Now that theres you
Every day I seem to find a new dimension of my mind
Im no longer a piece of clay
My heart has some buried lungs to say
Now that theres you, oh you
I can feel I am real
At last I taste the honey
Im alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that theres you
Thank you baby
I feel I am real
At last I taste the honey
Im alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that theres you
Im real Im real
At last I taste the honey
Im alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that theres you
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
Im alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that theres you
Im real Im real
At last I taste the honey
Im alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that theres you

Pleasant As May
Writer Dolly Parton
Copyright 1973
The mid summer sun shines but dim the fields try in vain to look gay
But when I was happy with him December was pleasant as May
There once was a time he and I picked flowers to braid in my hair
And the songbirds would sing sweet song of love that was tender and fair
No difference the seasons may quit our love was as warm as the sun
And it mattered not where did the snow
Or green grass kissed the fields where we'd run
Now the mid summer sun shines...
Sweet flowers sweet birds and sweet song have now lost their sweetness to me
For ever my darling is gone and for ever my heartbroken I'll be
Now the mid summer sun shines...
The mid summer sun shines but dim mmm

The sun shines on those who are standing before it shines on the people kneeling under them.
Dreamhouse
I wish the stars came down,
I wish I could fly,
Up there is a sea,
Where the moon shines,
Up there, there is a sea,
Where the moon shines,
Where the moon shines,
Lets swim,
I wish for the moon to shine,
I wish I could fly,
Seize possibillities,
Seize the night.
