Light Of The World Lyrics

In a lonely all night diner on a rainy city street



A girl eats at the counter with a suitcase at her feet



And the waitress looks her over and she knows that she can't pay



So when the girl slips out the door she looks the other way



There's a small light in the dark night human kindness deep inside us



If you see it in somebody's eyes there's no reason to be so surprised



Let it shine on it's only the light of the world







In an empty Greyhound station an old man stands alone



He counts out all his money to buy a ticket home



And the agent says he's got enough and puts the money in the drawer



Then he reaches in his pocket and puts in a dollar more



There's a small light...



[ guitar ]



On a dark deserted highway a boy holds out his thumb



Two headlights they light up his face as he turns his collar up



And the trucker he goes right on by as the snow starts comin' down



But then five miles on down the road he stops and turns around



Let it shine on let it shine on let it shine on



There's a small light...



There's a small light...



[ fiddle ]
