Shine Lyrics

	I was just a stone in the bottom of the river that caught your eye
	The way the light cast on me
	But I don’t really glow it’s just the ripples and the waves of the water
	And the way the light shone on me
	Chorus:
	So why should I be surprised
	That my shine had caught your eye
	But I knew that you would put me down in time
	When I no longer shined
	I was just a round old geode that someone cracked open
	In some Grandma’s flower garden
	And my jagged angles glowed in the sunlight among the tulips
	Just fools gold for children
	Chorus
	Oh it seems to take a lifetime to achieve perfection
	In your maker’s eyes
	But it only takes an instant to lose the attention
	Or the sparkle in a young beholder’s eyes
	When you no longer shine
	I was just a singer in a bar with a beat up guitar
	And a sack full of songs at my show
	And I caught your eye and I suppose you had a fancy
	For things under lights that seemed to glow
	Chorus

	I was just a stone in the bottom of the river that caught your eye
	The way the light cast on me
	But I don' t really glow it' s just the ripples and the waves of the water
	And the way the light shone on me
	Chorus:
	So why should I be surprised
	That my shine had caught your eye
	But I knew that you would put me down in time
	When I no longer shined
	I was just a round old geode that someone cracked open
	In some Grandma' s flower garden
	And my jagged angles glowed in the sunlight among the tulips
	Just fools gold for children
	Chorus
	Oh it seems to take a lifetime to achieve perfection
	In your maker' s eyes
	But it only takes an instant to lose the attention
	Or the sparkle in a young beholder' s eyes
	When you no longer shine
	I was just a singer in a bar with a beat up guitar
	And a sack full of songs at my show
	And I caught your eye and I suppose you had a fancy
	For things under lights that seemed to glow
	Chorus

	I was just a stone in the bottom of the river that caught your eye
	The way the light cast on me
	But I don' t really glow it' s just the ripples and the waves of the water
	And the way the light shone on me
	Chorus:
	So why should I be surprised
	That my shine had caught your eye
	But I knew that you would put me down in time
	When I no longer shined
	I was just a round old geode that someone cracked open
	In some Grandma' s flower garden
	And my jagged angles glowed in the sunlight among the tulips
	Just fools gold for children
	Chorus
	Oh it seems to take a lifetime to achieve perfection
	In your maker' s eyes
	But it only takes an instant to lose the attention
	Or the sparkle in a young beholder' s eyes
	When you no longer shine
	I was just a singer in a bar with a beat up guitar
	And a sack full of songs at my show
	And I caught your eye and I suppose you had a fancy
	For things under lights that seemed to glow
	Chorus
