You came tonight to bring me purple roses 
You treated me to caviar and to oysters 
We drove around till midnight in your Bentley 
You held my hand so tender and so gently 

You seemed to feel the heartbeat of the city 
You told me jokes so elegant and witty 
But fairy-tales are melting in the morning 
And still I need to keep my fires burning 

Oh, baby keep on shining 
Please, baby keep on shining 
Oh, baby keep on shining 
Just, baby keep on shining 
Oh, baby keep on shining 
Please, baby keep on shining 
Never let me see you are burned out 

We're moving on, the music's playing softly 
You take me home, I tell you it's too early 
You kiss my hand and say I'll call tomorrow 
I hate to think you leave me staying solo 

Help me, keep on shining… 
Going faster 
Playing the master 
Forgetting conventions 
And good intentions [bad word] closer 
Ignoring the gossip 
'Cause nothing's important 
If you really want it 

You never, never let me worry 
Keep telling me there is no hurry 
You turn me on moving slow 
Go, go, go, go…
