intro: Come on, now come on Your my heart beat my shinning sun These working days see far too long When you gone my heart sings out loud for you to come on home Verse 1 The working days seem far too long, Since you've been gone, the day's gone wrong. Every street feels cold and gray, I'm counting hours till the end of the day. The whistle blows, I head for home, But every room feels so alone. Then I close my eyes and there you are, Still shining like my lucky star. Pre-Chorus Every minute feels like two, Every dream comes back to you. There's only one thing on my mind... Chorus You're my shining sun, You're the morning when the night is done. You're the reason every dream goes on, You're my shining sun. So come on, now, come on, Let's leave these lonely streets behind. Take my hand and we'll be free, Come and share your dreams with me. Tag Come on, now... come on... My shining sun... Come on, now... come on... Together we'll keep shining on.
