Lyrics

Shine

Ooh I remember those old love letters

Plagued with memories, I can't forget us

I'm trying to fight it, trying to hide it

Rekindled flames are not recommended

But it never went out boy, it never ended

I'm trying to fight it, trying to hide it

But your love it shines

In a cruel hard world

It's a miracle to find

Someone good, someone whose love it shines

Your love it shines

Here in this apartment 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

But your love it shines

In a cruel hard world

It's a miracle to find

Someone good, someone whose love it shines

Your love it shines

You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up

You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up

In a cruel hard world

It's a miracle to find

Someone good, someone whose love it shines

Your love it shines
