SHINE ON ME

There's a moon tonight shining down on someone
oh yes I know, but it ain't me
no it ain't me
shining down on someone
oh yes I know

There are lover's eyes lookin' down on someone
oh I can see, but it ain't me
no, it ain't me
looking down on no-one
now I can see

There are mothers tears falling down for someone
they fall so free, for you and me
for you and me
falling down for someone
just falling free

There's a moon tonight shining down on someone
oh yes I know, but it ain't me
no it ain't me
shining down on someone
oh now I see

There's a moon tonight shining down on someone
oh yes I know, no it ain't me
no, no it ain't me
shining down on someone
oh yes I see
 
shining down for free

Hangin' My Tears Out to Dry 	

Too many tomorrows
way too many yesterdays
I never been much good
at keepin' time
you said you would love me
until you went away
you said you'd never break
this heart of mine

Now it's one more lonely love song 
one more cryin' shame 
Two more empty arms 
where once there was a name 
They say three is lucky 
in almost any game 
but I can't say forever 
when forever's just the same 

Now I cried you a river 
I cried a waterfall
My tears filled the sea 
up to the sky
But today I see the sun
shinin' rainbows in my eye
an' I'm hangin'
my tears out ...to dry

There's a trail out my back door 
to a meadow, thru some trees 
to a field full of flowers 
growing up beneath my knees 
where I used to find it easy 
Oh, so easy to believe
Everything 	
you ever said  ...to me

And my window is always open 
where I listen to the breeze 
Bringin' songs that come in floatin' 
'bout the birdies and the bees 
and I listen to the cold wind 
shakin' music in the leaves 
she's always singing songs 
'bout blowin' free

Now I cried you a river 
Yeah, I cried a waterfall
My tears filled the sea 
up to the sky
but today I see the sun
shinin' rainbows in my eye
an' I'm hangin'
my tears out ...to dry

But today I see the sun 
shinin' rainbows in my eye 
an' I'm hangin' my tears out 
...to dry
