Nik Kershaw - Shine On Lyrics
I took an hundred and ten pictures of you
Put them all around me and wondered what to do
Like a temple in memory,
a shrine in your name
To days I don't remember,
I took a part of my life,
about eighteen years long
Pulled it all to pieces and tried to make a song
With a groove you could dance to, a tune you could hum
I sung to my reflection, looking for the one
Man sees the boy in his eyes
Boy sees the man, singing:
Shine on
I thought you gave in
Deserted me long ago
Shine on
You're somebody's son
You're laughing again
You're letting the feeling grow
I took a hold of myself. It's not how I planned
Pulled myself together and acted like a man
I got a face I must keep up, responsible me
I keep it on my shoulders for everyone to see
But man sees the boy in his eyes
Boy sees the man, singing:
Shine on
I thought you were gone
I thought you gave in
Deserted me long ago
Shine on
You're somebody's son
You're laughing again
You're letting the feeling grow
Letting the feeling grow,
giving the years back to me
Letting the whole world know
that somebody in there loves me
Man sees the boy when he cries
Boy sees the man clinging on to him
Man sees the boy in his eyes
Boy sees the man, singing:
Shine on

Just beautiful.
There is not a truer, deeper album than Kershaw's 15 Minutes, every song is a revelation
I think this song speaks to every middle-aged man's experience. Especially right after I lost my own father, this song made me cry every time I heard it. Even now it makes me very emotional.
I thought I was gone but im back at the age og 50
Beautiful song <3 Thanks!
I was the drummer with the band that opened for Nik Kershaw in Hamburg when he was touring to promote 15 mins .All I can say is the album is mind blowing, and the one after .To Be Frank.inspirationl.
