I've known you for all of mine
 But not all of yours
 You're not a stranger
 No, nothing could be further
 I look back and I wonder
 What you were like, long before
 Josephina, if I asked you, would you tell me?
 The fact from the fancy
 And the dreams in between
 Tell me a story
 All about yours truly
 Photographs from the past
 Imagine the mystery

 Didja get your head lost in a daydream?
 Cinderella, waiting for her charming
 Did ya break a heart, like little girls often do?
 Pigtails and painted toes
 All dressed up in your mother's clothes
 Can you shine the light?
 Ah, can you shine the light?
 Oh, please can you shine some light?
 Yeah, can you shine the light?
 Shine the light on a shadow

 Josephina, would you lay down your defenses?
 So i can make sense of
 Those colors fading to grey
 It's not that you're hiding
 Something, I'd never imply
 Yesteryear I may be gone
 Can't say the same for today


 Yeah, Josephina!

 (Guitar Solo)

 Ah, Josephina!

 How else am I to know, that all the while
 There was a mischievous look, behind that smile?
 It's hard to tell, when innocence comes and goes
 I'm sure that there were times, life could be unkind
 Without a shoulder to cry on
 Can you shine the light?
 Ah, can you shine the light?
 Yeah, please can you shine some light?
 Yeah, can you shine the light?
 Yeah, can you shine the light?
 Shine the light on a shadow
