Shine On Through

music by Elton John . words by Gary Osborne
arranged by Paul Buckmaster
album A Single Man 1978


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 seen through the lies
that I've seen in your eyes
but the truth still shines on through
but the truth 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 so uncaringly
there are feelings left not even we can kill

so oh ho ho

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

on you
