In a lonely all night diner on a rainy city street
|
A girl eats at the counter with a suitcase at her feet
|
And the waitress looks her over and she knows that she can't pay
|
So when the girl slips out the door she looks the other way
|
There's a small light in the dark night human kindness deep inside us
|
If you see it in somebody's eyes there's no reason to be so surprised
|
Let it shine on it's only the light of the world
|
|
In an empty Greyhound station an old man stands alone
|
He counts out all his money to buy a ticket home
|
And the agent says he's got enough and puts the money in the drawer
|
Then he reaches in his pocket and puts in a dollar more
|
There's a small light...

On a dark deserted highway a boy holds out his thumb
|
Two headlights they light up his face as he turns his collar up
|
And the trucker he goes right on by as the snow starts comin' down
|
But then five miles on down the road he stops and turns around
|
Let it shine on let it shine on let it shine on
|
There's a small light...
|
There's a small light...
