I was lost in darkness and sinking sand  
Well I was barely nothing, a broken man  
But you picked up the pieces of my heart in your hand  
Then you came and showed to me love's second chance  
 
[Chorus] 
Shine on, shine on, shine on me  
Whenever something's missing  
You're exactly what I need  
Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see  
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah  
 
Lord knows that I'm not perfect but I sure do try  
And I see the man that I can be in your eyes  
Well there are times I still get lost in yesterday  
But you put the past behind me and you light my way  
 
[Repeat Chorus] 
 
Shine on (let your love shine)  
Shine on (on me)  
Shine all your love on me, yeah  
(Your love on me)  
Shine all your love on me, yeah  
 
[Repeat Chorus] 
 
Shine on, shine on, shine on me  
Won't you keep on shining, yeah  
Won't you keep on shining your love  
Down on me, baby  
Won`t you keep on shining, yeah  
Won`t you keep on shining your love  
Yeah, you're exactly what I need, baby  
Yeah, you are
