Shining

B.J. Thomas · Other Songs - B.J. Thomas

No one knew my name

Everyday the same

Oh so lonely

I prayed the time would come

When I'd be someone's

One and only

I found you

Made me feel brand new



Now I'm shining

Like the brightest morning sunlight

Shining

Brighter than the moon at midnight

Shining

If every single star fell from the skies

I'd be OK

'Cause I know I'd be shining in your eyes



We're all diamonds in the rough

Till someone cares enough

To love you

To take an empty heart

Make the feelings start

To be part of you

It feels so great

You were worth the wait



Now I'm shining

Like the brightest morning sunlight

Shining

Brighter than the moon at midnight

Shining

If every single star fell from the skies

I'd be OK

'Cause I know I'd be shining in your eyes



Oh oh

Shining

Like the brightest morning sunlight

Shining

Brighter than the moon at midnight

Shining

If every single star fell from the skies

I'd be OK

'Cause I know I'd be shining in your eyes
