Shine on Me
Rune Stowasser Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I hate myself for falling in love
There's no chance for me down or above
Her solid presence just isn't enough

But someday she'll shine on me
Someday her lips will embrace me
Time will make it real
Someday our eyes will meet

I remember the first time my eyes
Looked on her - witnessed her smile
I was paralyzed for quite a while

But someday she'll shine on me
Someday her lips will embrace me
Time will make it real
Someday our eyes will meet

I don't know who rolls the dice
I wasn't there
It could have been the devil in disguise
But I don't care

'Cause someday she'll shine on me
Someday her lips will embrace me
Time will make it real
Someday our eyes will meet





Someday she'll shine on me
Someday she'll shine on me
