Suppose I said to you that I just want a friend
Someone to be with and to talk to.
My heart's been broken and it needs some time to mend
And I need some time to spend with someone like you.

Come on now shine on me woman turn your light on my soul
Let your eyes see my sorrow let your love be my goal.
Shine on me woman make me warm with your smile
Bring my life from the darkness let me live for a while.

It seems a pity that we've never met before
I've had my fill of complications
But still it could turn out to be different from before.
Let our love be something more than fascination.

Come on now shine on me woman turn your light on my soul
Let your eyes see my sorrow let your love be my goal.
Shine on me woman make me warm with your smile
Bring my life from the darkness let me live for a while
