Shine-Stephen Simmons

[ti:Shine] [ar:Stephen Simmons] [al:The Big Show] [offset:0] [00:13.87]I was just a stone in the bottom of the river that caught your eye [00:19.93]The way the light cast on me [00:27.24]But I don't really glow it's just the ripples and the waves of the water [00:33.31]And the way the light shone on me [00:41.06]Chorus: [00:41.49]So why should I be surprised [00:43.99]That my shine had caught your eye [00:48.31]But I knew that you would put me down in time [00:55.74]When I no longer shined [01:02.99]I was just a round old geode that someone cracked open [01:08.74]In some Grandma's flower garden [01:16.74]And my jagged angles glowed in the sunlight among the tulips [01:21.93]Just fools gold for children [01:27.56]So why should I be surprised [01:33.81]That my shine had caught your eye [01:37.50]But I knew that you would put me down in time [01:45.12]When I no longer shined [01:52.56]Oh it seems to take a lifetime to achieve perfection [01:58.94]In your maker's eyes [02:00.62] [02:05.78]But it only takes an instant to lose the attention [02:13.09]Or the sparkle in a young beholder's eyes [02:20.65]When you no longer shine [02:28.03]I was just a singer in a bar with a beat up guitar [02:33.22]And a sack full of songs at my show [02:41.09]And I caught your eye and I suppose you had a fancy [02:46.53]For things under lights that seemed to glow [02:55.28]So why should I be surprised [02:58.47]That my shine had caught your eye [03:02.03]But I knew that you would put me down in time [03:09.84]When I no longer shined
