Ben Dearie - How I Want to Shine Lyrics

When my spirits are high, don't let me laugh alone
Or when I cry act like nothing's wrong
And when I die, just carry on
And I'll wait for you until you are called home
Now some people seem to want everything
They can get their hands on
I don't wanna be that guy
But if I act that way sometimes
I'm telling you right now
All I want
Is when my spirits are high, don't let me laugh alone
Or when I cry act like nothing's wrong
And when I die, just carry on
And I'll wait for you until you are called home
Now some people want to be big stars
Well that's not how I want to shine
I'd rather watch you shine in your own light
Stand back while you shine so bright
I hope you'll let me shine in mine
Do you wonder if a single person on
This planet ever really knows
When their lights go on
Who can see the flame?
Who can feel the fire, who can tell when they're tired
And who will never be the same?
And when my spirits are high, don't let me laugh alone
Or when I cry act like nothing's wrong
And when I die, just carry on
And I'll wait for you until you are called home
And when my spirits are high, don't let me laugh alone
Or when I cry act like nothing's wrong
And when I die, just
Carry on
And I'll wait for you until you are called home
I'll wait for you until you are called home
I'll wait for you until you are called home
