About Shine A Light

According to the Shine a Light Songfacts, Mick Jagger originally wrote the lyrics for Stones guitarist Brian Jones in 1968. The original lyrics were about Jones' drug addiction which was slowly detaching him from the rest of the band, and the song was called "Get A Line On You," but it was never released. After Jones' death, Jagger rewrote some of the lyrics and it was released in 1972 as "Shine A Light." .

Shine A Light Lyrics

[00:10.53] Saw you stretched out in room ten o'nine
[00:16.72] With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
[00:23.27] Oh couldn't seem to get a line on you
[00:31.79] My sweet honey love
[00:35.43]
[00:38.90] Berber jewelry jangling down the street
[00:45.01] Making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet
[00:52.33] Could not seem to get a high on you
[00:58.73] My-my sweet honey love
[01:05.00] May the good Lord shine a light on you
[01:11.39] Make every song your favorite tune
[01:17.46] May the good Lord shine a light on you
[01:23.56] Warm like the evening sun
[01:28.74] When you're drunk in the alley, baby with your clothes all torn
[01:34.91] When your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn
[01:40.38] Whoa I just seen so many flies on you
[01:48.11] I just can't brush 'em off
[01:53.62] The angels beating all their wings in time
[01:59.74] Smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes
[02:04.84] Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you
[02:12.52] Come on up now
[02:14.45] Come on up now
[02:15.88] Come on up now
[02:18.33] May the good Lord shine a light on you
[02:23.16] Yeah, make every song you sing your favorite tune
[02:29.95] May the good Lord shine a light on you
[02:34.49] Yeah, warm like the evening sun, ah-nah-nah yeah
[02:42.40]
[03:18.13] Come on up now
[03:20.06] Come on up now
[03:21.08] Come on up now
[03:22.55] Come on up now
[03:23.26] (May the good Lord) Yeah, yeah, yeah (shine a light on you)
[03:27.30] Ah my Lord, make every song you sing your favorite tune
[03:30.66]
[03:34.37] Ah yeah, (May the good Lord) Yeah, yeah Lord, shine a light on you
[03:38.83] My, my, my, my warm like the evening sun
[03:44.11] My, my, my, my, my yeah, yeah-yeah
[03:46.21]
