(You Don’t Have To) Shine

Just one step, a single step

A stumbling step, a lonely step.

Just one word, a simple word

A word unheard, a word absurd.

You done have to shine, you don’t have to rise

You don’t have to soar across the skies.

You don’t have to reach the farthest star

Everything you need is where you are.

Just one kiss, a single kiss

It would be remiss to miss that kiss.

Just one touch, a simple touch

To fill the need I need so much.

You don’t have to shine, you don’t have to rise

You don’t have to soar across the skies.

You don’t have to reach the farthest star

Everything you need is where you are.

Just one look, a single look

Remember when a single look was all it took

Just one smile, a simple smile

And I’ll be happy for quite a while.
