Lyrics

Shine a Smile

Oh, Shine a Smile
Oh Shine a Smile
Oh, Shine a Smile
Oh Shine a Smile
Shine a Smile on me

It’s that time of night
When nothing seems right
I sense time howling past my ears
And at the music pause
Another chair withdraws
There’s less of us dancing every year

Chorus

I think of you again
Your eyes soft as sin
And I see them welling up with tears
A long way from home
A long time till dawn
Now I think I understand your fears

Chorus

Poison of the mind
Is poison of the worst kind
Making everything right seem to be so wrong
I never would have said
I wish that I was dead
But when life is so short why is the night so long?

Chorus

It’s that time of night
When nothing seems right
I feel time howling past my ears
And at the music pause
Another chair withdraws
There’s less of us dancing every year

Chorus x 2
