(Jimmy Webb)
|
You're still the best person I ever knew
|
There were a thousand little things
|
that I was always just about to
|
say to you
|
But now the time it grows shorter
|
for the speeches;
|
Let me leave you with a line-
|
|
Might help you pass the time...
|
sometime.
|
You might as well smile
|
Ain't no tears gonna drown the rain
|
Keeps on falling
|
You might as well smile
|
Ain't no pain gonna change what
|
still remains
|
You might as well maintain, babe,
|
Protect your sanity, your sanity, and
|
Shine it on, babe. Shine It On Me.
|
|
I remember times when you'd touch me
|
And you'd, you'd freeze my spine.
|
We were looking in the mirror at the time
|
I got confused and thought your eyes were mine
|
|
Might help you pass the time... sometime.
|
You might as well smile
|
Ain't no tears gonna drown the rain
|
Keeps on falling
|
You might as well smile
|
Ain't no pain gonna change what
|
still remains
|
You might as well regain, babe
|
Your lost serenity, serenity, and
|
Shine it on, babe. Shine It On Me.
