I met you, girl, in an ugly place
But the light that fell across your face
It was shining like the sun
You were shining like the sun
I had a love and it left me cold
I felt the chills running down to my soul
I thought that I was done
Now you’re shining like the sun
I love you, girl, ‘cause you take away
All of the ugliness that fills my day
I’ve never known someone
Who can do the things you’ve done
My whole life seems like a waste of time
Waiting for this moment to arrive
Well, can’t you see
Happiness is just a state of mind
These kinds of things must happen all the time
But not to me
No, not to me
This world of ours is an ugly place
But all I need is to see your face
When the ugliness has won
And I come home feeling numb
And my head just weighs a ton
Oh, you’re shining like the sun
You’re shining like the sun
When I’m lost and overcome
And they’ve got me on the run
‘Cause I’m underneath the gun
Oh, you’re shining like the sun
You’re shining like the sun
We’ve only just begun
But you might just be the one
Oh, you’re shining like the sun
You’re shining like the sun
It doesn’t matter where you are
As long as I’m beside you, girl
I’ll be shining like a star
