Shine A Little Love Lyrics
Electric Light Orchestra
Lyrics
Shine---Rie Fu
I can pull you much closer to me, if I try
But the minute I face you, you see, I just walk by
The sound of the hallway could cheer me up,
but at the same time push me down
To the deepest of solitude
So the love I found is within me,
all the joy you bring is mine
He sits down and looks up at the city,
all the days will always shine.
Every night and every day
All the voices I hear are changing colors now
All I wanna do is hug their shoulders now
The sound of the station could cheer me up,
but at the same time push me down
To the deepest of solitude
Tiny plastic pens, scribbling on a daydream,
be carefree from it all
And letting it go on and looking back
made it harder for me to be free
As you know and as you don't know,
as you wish and as you don't wish
Count to three and that's that
So the love I found is within me,
all the joy you bring is mine
He sits down and looks up at the city,
all the days will always shine.?

The lyrics tell of a man asking his loved one to shine a little love on him so he can see what life has in store for them both. The band - which consisted of Lynne, Tandy, Bev Bevan, Kelly Groucutt, Mik Kaminski, Hugh McDowell, and Melvyn Gale at the time - crafted an upbeat pop-rock tune with a catchy chorus and memorable guitar riffs.
