Shining

(Allen Toussaint)



Shining

Shining like a star, shining

Mm-hmm

Shining

Shining like a star, shining

Mm-hmm



You make me shine like a star in the heavens

I feel there's nothing I can do

I bloom like a rose at the sound of your voice

I can never, ever get enough of you



Shining, woo...

Shining like a star, shining

Hey-ey

Shining, shining

Shining like a star, shining



You make me shine like a star in the sky

When the symphony of love all around

I was light as a cloud when I taste your lips

You sent through me a charm without a sound



You're a genie in the bottle in my arms

I feel anything I wish for it come true

But if I had only one wish in the world,

I wish that I could always be with you



It's magic

Oh-oh-ohh, it's magic

It's magic

Oh-oh-ohh, it's love---



You made me do things I've never done before

You gave me new things I've never knew before

Oh no, no, no



It's magic

Oh-oh-ohh, it's magic, yeah-eah

It's magic, magic

Oh-oh-ohh, it's love, lo-o-ove

It's magic, magic

Oh-oh-ohh, it's magic, magic

It's magic, yeah, yeah

Oh-oh-ohh, it's love---

Lo-ove---



Shining

Shining like a star, shining

Shining

Shining like a star, shining

Shining

Shine, shine, shine, shining

Shine, shine, shine



It's magic

Oh-oh-ohh, it's magic, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's magic

Oh-oh-ohh, it's love, lo-ove-ove

It's magic, magic

Oh-oh-ohh, it's magic, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's magic, magic

Oh-oh-ohh, it's love, love

It's magic, magic....
