Regine Velasquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldn't find my way
Then you came in
And brought along the sunshine
Now you're here to stay
(Chorus) You make me shine, shine
Like the stars in the heavens
You keep me shinning through
Shine, shine
With the light that you give in, it's true
I'm shinning on, all because of you
So watch me go
A light shines within me
People ask me why
And I just smile & tell them you're the reason
I've cast the darkness aside
(Repeat Chorus)
(Coda) Like a ray of light
Coming through the night
bright as the stars in the sky
See how I shine
(Repeat Chorus 2x until fade)
Regine Velasquez’s song Shine is a heartwarming declaration of how a person's presence and love can light up someone’s life. The song begins with the singer admitting to feeling lost and alone in the shadow. But then someone special comes into their life and fills it with sunshine. This person is described as a constant presence in their life, someone who is here to stay. The chorus is a repetition of the title and emphasizes how this person makes the singer shine like the stars in the heavens. The light that they give off is the reason the singer can keep shining on.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how the light within them draws attention and curiosity from other people. When they are asked about why they shine, the singer answers simply, acknowledging the reason for their newfound brightness - this person is the reason. The final part of the song, the coda, compares the person's effect on the singer to a "ray of light coming through the night" that illuminates their existence.
Overall, the song is a celebration of the transformative power of love that can make someone who was once lost, shine bright like a star.
