George Jones - Shine On (Shine All Your Sweet Love on Me) Lyrics

She'll never grace the centerfold of Playboy magazine

And chances are you'll never see her on the silver screen

She's by far the biggest star the world will never see

But she don't shine for the rest of the world

She's too busy shinin' on me

Shine on, shine on

Shine on though the world may never see

Oh my baby won't you, shine on, shine on

Shine all your sweet love on me

--- Instrumental ---

She won't be asked for autographs like all the movie stars

She won't wear Paris fashions or ride in chauffeured cars

But in her jeans she's the sexy dream that they'd all like to be
