lyrics

Reason To Shine © Tony King 2003
When the sun comes up with a rosy glow
It burns with a love that it’s dying to show
Someone to kiss ‘til the end of the day
the kind of kiss that won’t fade away
From when it touches you face in the morning
Until it has to go home at night
I know what it’s trying to say
I know ‘cause I feel the same way

You give me a reason to shine
You give me a reason to shine
When your eyes look back so full of love
You give me a reason to shine oo oo oo oo / oo oo oo oo

When the moon comes up and the land is still
There’s the loneliness of the night to fill
The moon goes searching through a silver hole
To soothe the aching of the soul
From when it touches your face in the evening
until it watches you dreaming at dawn
I know what it’s trying to say
I know ‘cause I feel the same way

You give me a reason to shine
You give me a reason to shine
When your eyes look back so full of love
You give me a reason to shine oo oo oo oo / oo oo oo oo

When the stars come out one by one
And all the wishing has begun
The stars make wishes of their own
Like us they dream they’re not alone
And they shoot to get your attention
And fall for you just like I did
I know what it’s trying to say
I know ‘cause I feel the same way

You give me a reason to shine
You give me a reason to shine
When your eyes look back so full of love
You give me a reason to shine oo oo oo oo / oo oo oo oo
oo oo oo oo / oo oo oo oo

about

Beautifully Mad Sydney, Australia

Breathtaking original music reminiscent of the beauty of James Taylor, some honey from Melody Gardot, a lyrical spice of Cohen washed down with some Waits-like humour. A musical flame that licks at the heels of Folk and Jazz
