Light Come Shine

 

Written by John Stewart

 

‘Light Come Shine’ is from the “Sunstorm” album, Warner Brothers, 1972, re-released as CD by Line Music, 1990.  I like that record a lot and have played it almost a trillion times.  Lots of great songs. 

“What could be holier

Than all of the love shining

Between you and me?” 

The answer is easy.  And this song is not difficult to learn, so do it.  (For those among you who still wonder what the answer is: NOTHING.)
