Lyrics

Shine, Shine, Shine

In the bright whitewashed mornings on Spain's southern coast
Abuelas step outside with pails rags and soap
Every doorstep and windowsill spotless as snow
And I wonder if they wonder where doesn time go
There's no way to be sure
But there's evidence been seen
If you shop every day
Your doorway will be clean

So I spend my time with you
It's the only thing I wanna do
And we stare up at stars, they're just dust in the heavens
And they shine, shine, shine

La abuela watches the street, doesn't like what she sees
Young girls lost to fast boys and shopping sprees
She's got gold under floorboards but a pittance of fun
And I wonder if she thinks what she might've done
There's no way to be sure
But the evidence is strong
If you shop every day
Your money will be gone

So I spend it all on you
It's the only thing I wanna do
And the coins feel light when they leave my fingers
And they shine, shine, shine

Well I've stayed in the best house, the worst bachelor pad
And I've stretched every penny and I've spent like mad
But brokedown or lofty, it's love that comes through
And I've looked long enough to know love looks like you
There's no way to be sure
But the evidence suggests
You won't get what you want
If you settle for less

So I spend my life with you
It's the only thing I wanna do
Oh and there's nothing sweeter when your eyes come to meet me
And they shine, shine, shine

So I spend my life with you
It's the only thing I wanna do
And there's a million sunsets, all different, all perfect
And they shine, shine shine
And there's a million sunsets, all different, all perfect
And they shine, shine shine
