You Shine
TOMMY (spoken)
Now, I’ve just pulled up in my dad’s car-
(mimics breaks squealing and a horn honking)
-and you’re in your pink dress-
SUE (spoken)
Blue-
TOMMY (spoken)
Oooh, you always look great in blue. And I’m wearing my rental tux, looking like a total dork. The whole thing’s kinda cheesy, but… nice. Then you drag me onto the dance floor, and of course I hate dancing, but it’s the last dance of Senior Year. And I’m with the most incredible person I know
SUE (spoken)
Me? Yeah right. All I do lately is mess up
TOMMY (spoken)
I mean it- You don’t give yourself enough credit
TOMMY
If you could see the
Way that you look to me
I bet that you'd be amazed at the sight
You'd see a heart that's
Fearless and true
From my point of view
Oh, you shine
SUE (spoken)
What about you? Why is everything so easy for you?
TOMMY (spoken)
Man, if you only knew. Half the time I'm just faking it, hoping that no one will discover I'm a complete fraud
SUE
I think you hide so much you feel inside
But I know deep down there's
A fire burning bright
From where you stand
It might not be clear
But you shine from here
BOTH
No doubts, no more fears
I see you shine and the dark disappears
TOMMY
Then I know everything is gonna be fine
Because you shine, oh how you shine
You shine
SUE (spoken)
What a surprise, gazing into your eyes
I swear that I still
Get lost in the light
No photograph could possibly show
The you I know
BOTH
No doubts, no more fears
I see you shine and the dark disappears
I'll be your mirror and you can be mine
Look to me and you'll see
Just how you shine
TOMMY (spoken)
Oh, damn! I have to go pick up my tux before they close
SUE (spoken)
Tommy? Thank you
TOMMY (spoken)
I love you
SUE (spoken)
I love you. He'd never said that before
That's what I remember
Most about that day
SUE
No doubts, no more fears
I see you shine and the dark disappears
Then I know everything is gonna be fine
Because you're mine
You shine
