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 the now time, it grows shorter for the speeches Just let me leave you with the line It might help you pass the time, sometimes 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 me Shine it on me I remember times when you held me You'd freeze my spine We were looking in the mirror at the time I got confused and I thought your eyes were mine But now the time, it grows shorter for the secrets Just let me leave you with some truth Might help you hold on to your jewels, sometimes 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 me Shine it on me, shine it on me Shine it on me
