Sheryl Crow (www.BestirMusic2.Org) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every little thing that I felt that day
Never will forget, there was love in the air
I wasn't looking for love to come my way
Oh baby baby but then I saw you there

That Summer day that I recall
You came into my life
And you gave me hope and love
I just want to be what you want me to
That Summer day that changed it all
You came into my life
And you let me fall in love
My baby I just want to be with you

I just want to let it shine
I just want to let it shine
I just want to let it shine

Did you ever think you knew everything?
Did you ever think you had it all figured out?
Oh baby baby
You know things can change
But someone loves you with no doubt

That Summer day that I recall
You came into my life
And you gave me hope and love
I just want to be what you want me to
That Summer day that changed it all
You came into my life
And you let me fall in love
My baby I just want to be with you

Can you hear me, baby? Yeah,
When I say I'm for you
I knew we could make it, oh
The moment you came into my life
Don't you know that you keep me shining, yeah

Oh, that Summer day that I recall
You came into my life
And you gave me hope and love
I just want to be what you want me to
That Summer day that changed it all
You came into my life
And you let me fall in love
My baby I just want to be with you

I just want to let it shine
I just want to tell you I love you baby

Yeah, I'm gonna let it shine
Yes, I'm gonna let it shine

I just want to let it shine




(I just want to let it shine)
(I just want to let it shine)
