when he shines

this man's a child

this man is old

sometimes he's mild

sometimes he's bold

this man i love

sometimes in spite

i wish he would stick to his guns

or abandon the fight

but when he shines

oh when he shines

yes when he shines

he shines so bright

sometimes a tramp

sometimes a dude

he changes colour just like a cameleon

cant find the mood

he is a song that's not easy to write

he is a moon in the morning

and the sun out at night

but when he shines

when he shines

oh when he shines

he shines so bright

this man's a gentleman

this man is strong

this temperamental man plays me along

but when he shines

when he shines

oh when he shines

he shines so bright

yes when he shines

when he shines

oh when he shines

he shines so bright

but when he shines

oh when he shines

yes when he shines

he shines so bright
