Bright Light Girl
Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I knew a woman
Never knew no one like her
She said, "The world's made up of angels
Beautiful and fair"

She would give you anything
Just give it all away
Just for one true moment
Believing love would stay

You're a bright light girl
Shine into this world
Now you know your love is coming true

You're a bright light girl
In a disbelieving world
Now someone believes as much as you
And now you know he really loves you too

She opened up for trouble
And saw him come on strong
But when he could not meet her eyes
She thought she'd done it wrong

Each time love abused her
She would take the shame
Each time love would lose her
She would take the blame

No, you're a bright light girl
Shine into this world
Now you know your love is coming true

Bright light girl
In a disbelieving world
Now someone believes as much as you
And now you know he really loved you too

You never lost your magic vision
Always in your sight
Special intuition
Telling you, it's gonna be alright

Oh, yeah, you're a bright light girl
Shine into this world
Now you know your love is coming true

You're a bright light girl
In a disbelieving world
Now someone believes as much as you
And now somebody really loves you too





Come on, shine on
Shine on girl
