Lyrics
Sha-na-na Shine Your Light
Sha-na-na Shine Your Light
Little town on the lake,
Full of all these memories we make
People come year after year,
These are traditions so dear
Playing in the sand,
Holding your grand baby’s hand
Sitting in the sun,
It’s the time, For laughing and having fun
Sha-na-na Shine Your Light
Pack the van, pack the car,
We’re coming from near and far
Driving North through the night,
To the place with sun shining bright
Pulling into town,
Rolling my windows down
Breathing in the air,
It’s the place, To leave your worries, forget your cares
Sha-na-na Shine Your Light
Standing tall, gleaming white,
Little lighthouse shining so bright
At the end of the pier,
Guiding all the boats without fear
Late or early day,
The lighthouse will point the way
Like a beacon in the night,
It shines for you and me, And we’ll know everything’s alright
Sha-na-na Shine Your Light
We return through the years,
Even through some heartache and tears
To the water, to the sand,
To my grandma’s hallowed land
Keep the magic living on,
Even after they’re gone
You can keep it burning bright,
In your heart, Just remember to shine your light
Sha-na-na Shine Your Light
Sha-na-na Shine Your Light
Sha-na-na Shine Your Light
