Lyrics

[Intro]
Saw you stretched out
In room 1009
With a smile on your face
And a tear right in your eye
Oh, couldn't seem to get a line on you
My sweet honey love
[Verse 1]
Berber jewellery
Jangling down the street
Making bloodshot eyes
At every woman that you meet
Could not seem to get a high on you
My, my sweet honey love
[Chorus]
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Make every song your favourite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
[Verse 2]
When you're drunk in the alley, baby
With your clothes all torn
When your late-night friends leave you
In the cold, grey dawn
Oh, just seem too many flies on you
I just can't brush them off
[Verse 3]
Angels beating
All their wings in time
With smiles on their faces
And a gleam right in their eyes
Oh, thought I heard one sigh for you
Come on up
Come on up now
Come on up now
[Chorus]
May the good Lord shine a light on you, yeah
Make every song you sing your favourite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you, yeah
Warm like the evening sun, no, no, no, no, yeah
[Bridge]
Come on up now
Come on up now
Come on up
[Chorus]
Come on (May the good Lord)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Shine a light on you)
Now, now, Lord
Make every song you sing your favourite tune
Ah, yeah (May the good Lord)
Yeah, yeah, Lord, shine a light (Shine a light on you)
My, my, my, my!
Warm like the evening sun
My, my, my, my my, my!
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah!
