Elton John - Shine On Through Lyrics






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

    Shine On Through

    Elton John

    Album: A 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

    How can he remember so many songs???

  10. s.... ....

    This will always be, to me, one of the single best performances Elton has ever done. Thank you for sharing it.

  11. A.... V....

    i love this song

  12. L.... A....

    Tudo que ele faz e especial

  16. C.... V....

    Thank you very mach

  17. I.... S....

    I was a kid, and loved this song. Always takes me back to this girl, and the break up-First love kind of break up. I also loved Blue Moves. I must have been a pretty screwed up kid. LOL

  18. �.... �....

    great song.

  19. o.... ....

    In my humble opinion I think the album "A Single Man" is much better then what critics said about it...

    o.... ....

    Well, Elton himself never plays anything live off the album (except maybe song for guy)
    also Gary Osborne wrote all the lyrics.
    I have mix feelings on the lp with big dipper, shooting star, reverie and song for guy being the exception.
    Still it beats the next record he did by leaps and bounds, the infamous victim of love !!
    can't listen to that lp to this day.
    see what cocaine does to you !!

    o.... ....

    And the "A Single Man" tour was amazing. I will never forget it.

    o.... ....

    chris Alexander  This song and "Georgia" are fantastic

    o.... ....

    @iDespiicableMusic How about return to paradise?

  20. M.... A....

    Elton John - TUDO DE BOM...AMOOO

  21. J.... A....

  22. s.... ....

    This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.

  23. t.... j....

    shine on through Elton through it all your star will shine on and on!

  24. L.... C....

    he is a miracle

  25. J.... l....

    It's sad because my dog was just put down this Sunday after being ill and her name was star and this reminds of her there's not doubt this song is for her

  26. A.... V....

    beautiful

  27. c.... ....

    Masterful!!  Thanks.

  28. I.... C....

    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

  29. A.... W....

    excellent ✌👍👍

  30. D.... M....

    Oh no Elton wasn't done with the 70's yet! A Single Man still had to come out

  31. p.... ....

    wow, this tune is great!!! don't sleep on post-captain fantastic elton

  32. V.... ....

    This track should be on one of EJ's greatest hits packages.

  33. B.... G....

    Been an Elton fan since childhood and only heard this beautiful song now. The magic of YT.

  34. P.... 0....

    I have the Album "a Single man" and i Listen to it Every day. A beautifull song

  35. t.... ....

    I live in the States, but I KNOW I saw this on TV here -- I watched the whole show just so I could see Elton. But I can't remember under what circumstances I saw it! I had never seen M&W before and thought they were quite weird! Incidentally, there's another, VERY long version of the song on "The Thom Bell Sessions" EP that was actually recorded before" ASM".

  36. W.... O....

    Wow Never seen this one. GREAT ....!!

  37. D.... M....

    #45 of the elton 100

  38. P.... F....

    what a great performance just elton and his piano

    P.... F....

    And two men in drag. Brilliance unmatched.

  39. M.... P....

    Oh meu amor
    Eu tenho amaldiçoado as estrelas acima
    Que levam meu coração para você
    Mas tão duro quanto eu tente
    Ainda assim o meu amor não vai morrer
    E as estrelas ainda brilham em meio
    E as estrelas ainda brilham em meio

    Oh minha querida
    Agora este navio é muito difícil de dirigir
    A maré virou, virou em você
    Eu tenho sido através das mentiras
    Que eu vi em seus olhos
    Mas a verdade ainda brilha em meio
    Mas a verdade que ainda brilha, brilha em meio

    Brilhe, brilhe com os dias que temos para preencher
    Embora tomamos nosso amor tão ousadamente
    Há sentimentos deixaram nem mesmo podemos matar

    Oh meu amigo
    Então, finalmente, chegar ao fim
    As luzes se apagam na hora
    Eu tenho perdido meu tempo
    Mas provei oh tão bem
    Que meu amor ainda brilha, brilha em meio
    E meu amor ainda brilha, brilha em você

    Obscure to me and I love Elton.

    ldchappell1 tonight..

    You forgot about Amoreena, and Razor Face. And there were some decent tracks off The One (1992). Check out Runaway Train. Duet with Eric Clapton. It's pretty good.

    l.... ....

    My obscure vote goes to "Texan love song".

  41. T.... G....

    Does anybody know if this version can be found on an album, session, or for download anywhere? Philip?

    T.... G....

    Hello, Google search how to download from Youtube!

    T.... G....

    Tyler Grover

  42. D.... C....

    Inigualable!!!!!!

  43. T.... M....

    Unbelievable song and so well sung.   Love Elton and this was from The Thom Bell Sesssions LP I think.

    T.... M....

    "A Single Man" LP

    T.... M....

    @John Vargo technically, both are correct. Originally, it was released in 77 on A Single Man, then later with an alternate end on The Complete Thom Bell Sessions

    T.... M....

    +Tom Markel  Yes it was on the Thom Bell Session. I got the cassette. Blew me away.

    T.... M....

    The Thom Bell version was recorded first wasn't it? Always preferred the Single Man version. More reflective.

  44. C.... E....

    One of my very favorites! !

  45. j.... l....

    one word... CLASS

  46. J.... C....

    Beautiful song! I've never heard this song before. What album/cd is this from?

    J.... C....

    It's from Elton's, "A Single Man" album from 1978. This is one of the few times he has performed this song live.

    J.... C....

    @Philip Anness Ah! Sweet! I'm afraid I don't have "A Single Man." 

    J.... C....

    this was after he and bernie split as a songwriting team. i think it was gary osbourne who wrote the lyrics.

    J.... C....

    This was the start of the bad times for Elton

    J.... C....

    Come to think of it I do have *A Single Man*. I love it. :)

  47. j.... l....

    that just shows how good the man is

  48. j.... ....

    Marvelous performance of this fantastic song from A Single Man '78 - better than the origninal ! :)

  49. V.... F....

    that's amazing!

  50. P.... ....

    beautiful!

  51. R.... A....

    I love this song! Thank you for posting it!

  52. P.... W....

    I bought the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Specials DVD just so I could see the full performance of this! The album version doesn't do this song justice.

  53. S.... ....

    Thanks for this one! One of my all-time favorite songs, along with Tonight and Rocketman. I'd love to hear him do those two just like this one. I love the purity of Elton alone with his piano. This could have been the official release as far as I am concerned.

  54. l.... s....

    Nice to see this back on youtube (performance only) One of his best ! Thanks
