Lyrics: Glittering Prize
Album: New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)
Artist: Simple Minds
 

Shine on, shine the light on me,
In all of my life so that much more i see
In the light of his love
In the light of reflection
Oh what a world
Or sometimes oh so it seems
Eyes in the skies
In that silver gift friendship
A glittering prize
Is it the prize of lost loves
They can remember quiet sides of midnight
They can remember the attraction of fame
Like a glittering prize
I saw up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away

Always came a time – time was on our side
We were spending time – we were staring out
Catch me in a dream – captured all in heart
We were spending time – we were staring out
Could there ever be – ever more than one
It’s called an act of love
Can you you never stop?

Shine on, shine the light on me,
In all of my life
So much more i see
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking heart then our last breath away
Only on a clear day coming into our lives

See it in the eye – satellite skies
We were spending time – we were staring out
Take in, take in more – the endless breath away
We were spending time – we were staring out
Could there ever be – ever more than one
It’s called an act of love
Can you you never stop?

Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
Is it the price of love
Like a glittering prize
Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
With your love
Only on a clear day
