I am the daughter
Of poor circumstances
Bargained with the future
And I took my chances
When I met him, he turned the tide
Like the Emerald City
Looked like the end of the road
'Til he hitched a ride with me
Chorus:
Shine, shine, shine - Oh pretty baby be a friend of mine (x4)
He had eyes like goldmines
Movements like mine
We drove into a night (fire?)
I lost track of time
Words got away from me
Like butterflies
I thought that I'd seen it all, 'til I'd seen those eyes
(Chorus)
Shine, shine, shine (x4)
We had a daughter
How sweet and strange
She's already singing
A three-octave range
I've got to go on
A small vacation
Almighty doctor, heal the situation
(You know, you know, you know, you know you gotta be a friend of mine
Oh, Friend of mine
Real good, real good, real good friend of mine
Shine, shine, shine on me baby, be a friend of mine
Shine
Be a friend of mine
Be a friend of mine
Whoa, be a friend of mine
You got to be a friend of mine
Just like I told you, just like you showed me
You got to be a friend of mine)
Shine, shine, shine - Oh pretty baby be a friend of mine
Shine, shine, shine - Oh pretty baby be a friend,
Oh pretty baby be a friend,
Oh pretty baby be a friend
Of mine.
