I was lost in darkness and sinking sand
Well I was barely nothing, a broken man
But you picked up the pieces of my heart in your hand
Then you came and showed to me love's second chance
(Chorus)
Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Whenever something's missing
You're exactly what I need
Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah
Lord knows that I'm not perfect but I sure do try
And I see that man that I can be in your eyes
Well there are times I still get lost in yesterday
But you put the past behind me and you light my way
(Chorus)
Shine on (let you love shine)
Shine on (on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah
(Your love on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah
(Chorus)
Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Won't you keep on shining, yeah
Won't you keep on shining your love
Down on me, baby
Won't you keep on shining, yeah
Won't you keep on shining, you love down on me
Yeah, you're exactly what I need, baby
Yeah, you are
Well I was barely nothing, a broken man
But you picked up the pieces of my heart in your hand
Then you came and showed to me love's second chance
(Chorus)
Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Whenever something's missing
You're exactly what I need
Your love has shown me the light and now I finally see
So shine on, shine on, shine on me, yeah
Lord knows that I'm not perfect but I sure do try
And I see that man that I can be in your eyes
Well there are times I still get lost in yesterday
But you put the past behind me and you light my way
(Chorus)
Shine on (let you love shine)
Shine on (on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah
(Your love on me)
Shine all your love on me, yeah
(Chorus)
Shine on, shine on, shine on me
Won't you keep on shining, yeah
Won't you keep on shining your love
Down on me, baby
Won't you keep on shining, yeah
Won't you keep on shining, you love down on me
Yeah, you're exactly what I need, baby
Yeah, you are

About"When we won the ACM award, the 7th to 12th graders in my hometown, Picher, Oklahoma, made a huge banner and posed in the gymnasium with it. It said, "Shine On, Joe Don." It was so sweet, and I thought, "We've gotta write a song called 'Shine On'." A few months afterward I had this cool melody on the bus and the "Shine On" idea came into my head. I was playing it for Jay and Gary and they started singing this melody over the chord progression. I said, "Sing 'Shine on'" and boom, right then and there it was married together. It was magic. We wrote it in about 45 minutes." ~Joe Don Rooney
