WHEN HE SHINES
(Dominic Bugatti / Florrie Palmer)


Florrie Palmer - 1980
Sheena Easton - 1981





This man's a child, this man is old
Sometimes he's mild, sometimes he's bold
This man I love, sometimes in spite
Wishing he'd 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 that can't find the mood
He is a song that's not easy to write
He is the 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 gentle man, 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

(Instrumental Break)

But when he shines, oh, when he shines
Yes, when he shines, he shines so bright
