Shining for you Up there in the stars sits the spirit of altitude looking down at the lights of the cities Wondering if I can see that circle twinkling In my mind's eye's soul, O how it shines Shining for you, O darling shining for you Near the harbour lights sits the spirit of solitude Praying one day his love will come On a chariot with wings his love will come Then see how he smiles and how his heart shines Shining for you, O darling shining for you Gold yearns for Silver and Silver for Gold One needs the other like I need you I live hoping that you need me too Never before known a feeling so true On top of the clouds sits the spirit of magnitude Silent and easy he blows the breeze Wondering if I will ever blow back a smile Just glad to wake and see how the sun shines Shining for you, O darling shining for you On the blue stone steps sits the spirit of gratitude Expecting I am enjoying my life I'm not doing so bad going back and forth Stopping now and then to see how the moon shines Shining for you, O darling shining for you
