My Light Will Shine

Outside, a light is flashing
Inside my heart is crashing
And now our words are slashing
So, this time we're gonna be apart

You know I sympathise, but
There's no time for lies
I guess you realise
The look that's in your eyes
Would tear my heart

You said you're leaving me, and
Asked if I agree
Then, like a child, you cried
When you realised your time had come

After all the things we've been through
It seems so hard to leave you

My light will shine for you tonight
My light will shine for you tonight

You're like a Claymore mine
You were my glass of wine
Can't drink you off my mind
Maybe you'll build a shrine and tears sustain

I've crossed the Harbour Bridge, yes
I've learned how to live
I've seen the black of night
And I've watched people fight wrapped in pride

After all the things we've been through
It seems so hard to leave you

My light will shine for you tonight
My light will shine for you tonight
A love by any name
You won't wear like chains
Let me hold you tonight

A love by any name
You won't wear like chains
Let me hold you, tonight

I said that I would wait forever
And so you took me at my word

Oh, my light will shine for you tonight
My light will shine for you tonight
A love by any name, you won't wear like chains

My light will shine for you tonight (yes, it will)
My light will shine for you tonight
A love by any name, you won't wear like chains
Let me hold you, tonight
