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 jew'lry jangling down the street

Make you shut your 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 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 you 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 eye

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
