In a lonely all night diner on a rainy city street |
|
A girl eats at the counter with a suitcase at her feet |
|
And the waitress looks her over and she knows that she can't pay |
|
So when the girl slips out the door she looks the other way |
|
There's a small light in the dark night human kindness deep inside us |
|
If you see it in somebody's eyes there's no reason to be so surprised |
|
Let it shine on it's only the light of the world |
|
In an empty |
|
Greyhound station an old man stands alone |
|
He counts out all his money to buy a ticket home |
|
And the agent says he's got enough and puts the money in the drawer |
|
Then he reaches in his pocket and puts in a dollar more |
|
There's a small light... [ guitar ] |
|
On a dark deserted highway a boy holds out his thumb |
|
Two headlights they light up his face as he turns his collar up |
|
And the trucker he goes right on by as the snow starts comin' down |
|
But then five miles on down the road he stops and turns around |
|
Let it shine on let it shine on let it shine on |
|
There's a small light... |
|
There's a small light... [ fiddle ] |
