Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on
Come and get it, come and get it
Come on and get it, love

Shine on [ shine on]
Let the light of love grow stronger
Shine on [ shine on]
Put a sun in my heart
A Flame in the dark
So let the light of love shine on

Yeah let it shine on, shine

I've been waiting such a long time
In the shadows for someone just like you
Hoping, Looking for some sign
And the minute I saw your face, I knew
You were the answer to my prayers
I opened my eyes and you were there

Shine on [shine on]
Let the light of love grow stronger
Shine on [ shine on]
Put the sun in my heart
A flame in the dark
So let the light of love shine on

Let it shine on, shine

There's a reason that we're together
Every step was leading me to you
NowIi know it was worth it
All the heartbreak has brought me closer to
Knowing I've found my destiny
Open your arms and reach for me

Shine on [shine on]
Let the light of love grow stronger
Shine on [ shine on]
Put the sun in my heart
A flame in the dark
So let the light of love shine on

This is the first time
Love's made me feel this way
Right here, deep in my soul
Baby, I know you are the one

Oh, you are the one

You are the answer to my prayers
Open my eyes and you are there

Shine on [ shine on]
Let the light of love grow stronger
Shine on [shine on]
Put the sun in my heart
A flame in the dark
So let the light of love shine on





Let it shine

Great song. Nothing beats the early 90's dance scene. It could be nostalgia on my part, but the dance music from that period was special. Both in the UK and US.

@mistypuffs

Well I’m 46 and was in the local clubs from 14. Maybe we’re just biased, but I agree 💯 mate

@madogapmeurigfawr3287

Just checked: released in the UK in 1991and 1994.

@misscee6629

If you were there, you were there

@Michelle_Schu-blacka

An old song randomly pops into your head and ten seconds later, you're watching the video ... Something that you couldn't do when this song came out.

But I'd still give anything to be back then. Great era to be a teenager.

@maplady572

Same!!! I was in my 30s when this came out but it still brings back great memories. Also Do you want it right now!

@adriannathornton840

That is literally what happened to me. Thank God for YouTube. When a song pops into your head you can easily find the video, even if you can't remember the title.

@madamboo8315

Oh the raving memories 💓💓💓 love peace and unity. Shine on. 🕯️🎆

@dirrty06

This a popular tune on the clubland that channel and I can see why! Who’s here in 2022?

@stevebates661

Watching Human Traffic led me back to this track - had forgotten it - like most of the 90's! How I ever made 30 is not only a mystery, its a friggin miracle! Bring it back! Swerve.
