Shine
Words and music by Liam Robinson

So many jewels are awaiting your ear
For whom do you shine, Love, for whom do you shine?
You hold each one up as you gaze in the mirror
For whom do you pine, Love, for whom do you pine?
What do they whisper as you draw them near?
You say that you’re mine, Love, but are you just mine?

Each little jewel is a secret untold
For whom do you shine, Love, for whom do you shine?
You remember the story of each one you hold
For whom do you pine, Love, for whom do you pine?
Is it silver for some while others are gold?
You say that you’re mine, Love, but are you just mine?

One gem shines in the glimmering day
And another one glows in the shimmering night
Do you wear the same one in the sun’s golden rays
As you do in the moon’s silver light?

So many jewels were here before I
For whom do you shine, Love, for whom do you shine?
Some etched in truth and some cast in lies
For whom do you pine, Love, for whom do you pine?
This beauty beheld in so many eyes
You say that you’re mine, Love, but are you just mine?

One gem shines in the glimmering day
And another one glows in the shimmering night
Do you wear the same one in the sun’s golden rays
As you do in the moon’s silver light?

After an evening there comes a new day
Will you be true, Love, will you be true?
And in this new dawn can we find a new way
If I shine for you, Love, if I shine for you?
Can I believe in the things that you say?
You say that you’re mine, Love, but

Am I the one that shines in the glimmering day,
And the one that glows in the shimmering night?
Can I shine for you in the sun’s golden rays
And again in the moon’s silver light?
