Shine (Album Version) - Darius Rucker (达柳斯.拉克)

November of '43

On a boat comin' 'cross the sea

He left the boy came back a man

She started running' when she saw his face

It'd been 655 days

Since she held his hand

He got down on one knee

And he pulled out that ring

That he bought in Aberdeen

And when it hit that New York sky

It shined just like a spotlight

A star up in the night sky

The kind of thing that takes your breath away

Her eyes sparked like that diamond

With love beaming from 'em

The kind of light that's never gonna fade

It's gonna shine

For the next 55 years

Through the laughter and the tears

My grandma always fore that band

Atom bombs and a baby boom

Dr King and a man on the moon

No it never left her hand

On the day she passed away

Mama put it on a chain

Now and then on special days

Mom would wear it around her neck

And it would shine just like a spotlight

A star up in the night sky

The kind of thing that takes your breath away

Her eyes sparked like that diamond

With love beaming from 'em

The kind of light that's never gonna fade

It's gonna shine

Mama said one of these days

I'd know why she gave me that ring

Sittin' here I know she was right

Oh it's knot the biggest stone you've ever seen

But girl I can promise you one thing

That all the rest of your life

It's gonna shine just like a spotlight

A star up in the night sky

The kind of thing that takes your breath away

Your eyes sparkled like that diamond

With love beaming from 'em

The kind of light that's never

Never never gonna fade

It's gonna shine shine shine

Shine shine shine

Shine shine shine

Like a beacon calling me home

It's gonna shine

Oh yeah shine shine shine
