A letra:
Saw
you stretched out in Room ten oh nine
With a smile on your face
and a tear right in your eye
Whoa, come see to get a line on you,
my sweet honey love
Berber jewelry jangling down the street
Making
bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet
Could not seem to get
high on you, my sweet honey love
May the good Lord shine
a light on you
Make every song (you sing) your favorite tune
May
the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
When you're drunk in
the elevator, with your clothes all torn
When your late night
friends leave you in the cold gray dawn
Just seen too many flies
on you, I just can't brush them off
Angels beating all
their wings in time
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right
in their eyes
Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you
Come on
up, come on up, now, come on up now
May the good Lord shine
a light on you, yeah
Make every song you sing your favorite
tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you, yeah
Warm like the
evening sun
Come on up now, come on up now, come on up now, come on up, come on
May the good Lord shine
a light on you
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May
the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun,
yeah, yeah
