Although the things you've done, I wouldn't criticize
 I guess, you had your way
 You see, I gotta make you understand
 I know it sounds a foolish thing to say
 But it don't matter baby 'cause today's another day

 You shine a little love on my life
 You shine a little love on my life
 You shine a little love on my life
 And let me see

 Remember, tonight we're [bad word] till dawn
 Remember, tonight we're gonna say
 We'll never stop, we got a good thing goin' on
 I know you've heard it all before
 But I really need you girl, every day I need you more

 You shine a little love on my life
 You shine a little love on my life
 You shine a little love on my life
 And let me see

 Can you understand? Yes, I understand
 Can you feel it's right? I know it is
 Will you be the same? I'll do it all again
 
It's been a year now and it's getting so much better
 You came home without a word
 Though everybody said, "You'll soon forget her"
 They couldn't see and they just didn't understand
 And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand

 You shine a little love on my life
 You shine a little love on my life
 You shine a little love on my life
 And let me see

 Can you understand? Yes, I understand
 Can you feel it's right? I know it is
 Will you be the same? I'll do it all again

 How many days had I been waiting there to tell you
 I really can't believe
 We're walkin' out into the world tonight
 We'll do it all again until the break of light
 And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes

 You shine a little love on my life
 You shine a little love on my life
 You shine a little love on my life
 And let me see

 You shine a little love on my life
 (Shine all day)
 You shine a little love on my life
 You shine a little love on my life
 And let me see

 You shine a little love on my life
 (Shine)
 You shine a little love on my life
 (Be careful)
 You shine a little love on my life
 And let me see
