You Shine On Me
How special you are
To have laughter that infects
Bottomless: it goes on and on
How magic you are
To make every day an art
To make life come undone
To make the mundane fun
To perk up everyone
And spread a mood
Like waves until the whole scene
Becomes your sea
How special you are
To capture the heart
Of a wild beast that
Saw life as being free
To make that capture BE
Everything upon everything
Now: You. Are. Freedom.
The exciting, the sensory
How magic you are
To make things plain to see
And HUGE to feel
To become the escape
How magic you are
To spread waves through
Nothing but the thought of you
To become the sun
And bring light along into every room
And shine onto everyone
To be so infectious
To be so delicious
How magic you are
For the feelings your thought spurs
So much so it cannot be put into words
How encompassing you are
To be everything
What an honour it is to have the sun
In my hand,
To have a planet as a man
Wanting to keep me company
Warm me up, understand
Beaming to illuminate my path
Taking on my storms
And calming them, calmly
Until brick by brick
We only build magic
