Shine on, shine on me
All I know is now I want you close to me
I can't really tell you what the future's gonna be
Just for now, little lady, shine on me

Lean on, lean on me
Something tells me that's the way it's gotta be
I can't really show you what the future's gonna be
Just for now, little lady, lean on me

To fall in love with love was maybe just a fantasy
And promises we made could be insane
Don't think of tomorrow, yesterday is past
And if you could, you know we can make it last

[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]

Drink on, drink on me
Slip and slide so I'll forget reality
I can't really say if I'll come on again so free
Just for now, little lady, drink on me

To fall in love with love was maybe just a fantasy
And promises we made could be insane
Don't think of tomorrow, yesterday is past
And if you could, you know we can make it last

Shine on, shine on me
All I know is now I want you close to me
I can't really tell you what the future's gonna be
Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Just for now, little lady, shine on me
Just for now, little lady, shine on me.
