Lyrics When He Shines - Mary Hopkin

This man's a child, this man is old
Sometimes he's mild, sometimes he's bold
This man I love sometimes in spite
Of wishing he'd stick to his guns
Or abandon the fight
But when he shines, oh when he shines
When he shines, he shines so bright
Sometimes a tramp, sometimes a dude
He changes color just like a chameleon
Can sense the mood
This man's a tune, it's not easy to write
This man's a moon in the morning and the sun out at night
But when he shines, oh when he shines
When he shines, he shines so bright
This is a gentle man, this man is strong
This temperamental man plays me along
But when he shines, yes when he shines
When he shines, he shines so bright
Darting from shadows into the light
This emotional man in perpetual flight
Shine, shine, this shining man
