Saw you stretched out in room ten-o-nine
With a smile on your face
And a tear right in your eye

Couldn't see to get a line on you
My sweet honey love


Berber jewelry jangling down the street
Make you shut your eyes at every woman that you meet
Could not seem to get a high on you

My sweet honey love

May the good lord shine a light on you

Make every song your favourite tune
May the good lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun


Well, you're drunk in the alley, baby
With your clothes all torn


And your late night friends
Leave you in the cold grey dawn

Just seemed 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

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
Make every song you sing your favourite tune

May the good lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
