| Saw you stretched out in room ten-o-nine
|
| With a smile on your face
|
| And a tear right in your eye
|
| Couldn’t see to get a line on you
|
| My sweet honey love
|
| Berber jewelry jangling down the street
|
| Make you shut your eyes at every woman that you meet
|
| Could not seem to get a high on you
|
| My sweet honey love
|
| May the good Lord shine a light on you
|
| Make every song your favourite tune
|
| May the good Lord shine a light on you
|
| Warm like the evening sun
|
| Well, you’re drunk in the alley, baby
|
| With your clothes all torn
|
| And your late night friends
|
| Leave you in the cold grey dawn
|
| Just seemed too many flies on you
|
| I just can’t brush them off
|
| Angels beating all their wings in time
|
| With smiles on their faces
|
| And a gleam right in their eyes
|
| Thought I heard one sigh for you
|
| Come on up, come on up, now
|
| Come on up, now
|
| May the good Lord shine a light on you
|
| Make every song you sing your favourite tune
|
| May the good Lord shine a light on you
|
| Warm like the evening sun |
