LYRIC FOR SALE

By Marie Keightley Mellor

Verse 1
In the twilight glow of a silver song,
You laid the stars where the chords belong,
A spaceship of colours in electric skies,
You taught the world how a melody flies.

Chorus
Shine on, Mr. Blue,
Your sound is the sun breaking through,
Every line, every tune,
Take us over the moon.
Shine on, shine on,
We’re still singing along.

Verse 2
From a Shard End dream to world stage heights
You sprinkled the dark with a million lights,
Orchestras danced with the rock and roll flame,
And nothing, no, nothing was ever the same.

Chorus
Shine on, Mr. Blue,
Your sound is the sun breaking through,
Every line, every tune,
Take us over the moon.
Shine on, shine on,
We’re still singing along.

Bridge
Through the echoes, through the years,
Your voice is the symphony we hear,
Galaxies spin to your golden songs,
The universe hums and we all sing along.

Final Chorus
Shine on, Mr. Blue,
Our world still turns because of you,
Every note that you drew
Is forever a light shining through.
Shine on, shine on,
Your music lives on.

Thank you Mr Jeff Lynne
