Saw you stretched out in Room Ten O Nine With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye.
Oh, couldn´t see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love. Berber jew´lry jangling down the street, Making bloodshot eyes at ev´ry 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 (you sing) your favorite tune. May the good Lord shine a light on you, Warm like the evening sun.
When you´re drunk in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray 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. Whoa, 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 favorite tune. May the good Lord shine a light on you, Warm like the evening sun.
