[Verse 1]
This man's a child, this man, he's old
Sometimes he's mild, sometimes he's bold
This man I love, sometimes in spite
I wish he'd stick to his guns, or abandon the fight
[Chorus]
But when he shines, oh, when he shines
Yes, when he shines, he shines so bright
[Verse 1]
Sometimes a tramp, sometimes a dude
He changes colour just like a chameleon, can't find the mood
He is a song that's not easy to write
He is a moon in the morning, and the sun out at night
[Chorus]
But when he shines, when he shines
Oh, when he shines, he shines so bright
[Bridge]
This man's a gentle man, this man is strong
This temperamental man plays me along
[Chorus]
But when he shines, when he shines
Oh, when he shines, he shines so bright
Yes, when he shines, when he shines
Oh, when he shines, he shines so bright
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
But when he shines, oh, when he shines
Yes, when he shines, he shines so bright
