Shine On Through

Song byElton John
in AlbumA Single Man

Oh my love

I have cursed the stars above

That lead my heart to you

But as hard as I try

Still my love will not die

And the stars still shine on through

And the stars still shine on through

Oh my dear

Now this ship's too hard to steer

The tide has turned, turned on you

I have been through the lies

That I've seen in your eyes

But the truth still shines on through

But the truth it still shines, shines on through

So shine, shine on through the days we have to fill

Though we took our love so daringly

And gave it up uncaringly

There are feelings left not even we can kill

Oh my friend

So at last we reach the end

The lights go down on cue

I have wasted my time

But it tasted oh so fine

That my love still shines, shines on through

And my love still shines, shines on you
