Saw you stretched out in Room Ten O Nine 
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye. 
Oh, couldn`t see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love. 
Berber jew`lry jangling down the street, 
Making bloodshot 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 favorite tune. 
May the good Lord shine a light on you, 
Warm like the evening sun. 

When you`re drunk in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn 
And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray 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 eyes. 
Whoa, 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 favorite tune. 
May the good Lord shine a light on you, 
Warm like the evening sun.
